Available in a variety of styles, shapes and colors, quartz wall clocks make an affordable time-keeping option for any room in the home or office. Like any mechanical operation, however, they aren't exempt from the occasional need for repair, which can easily be done with a little knowledge and patience.

The first and easiest problem to fix is restoring the clock's battery power, which is done by removing the battery from the back of the clock and replacing it with a fresh one. If the battery contact points - those little metal tabs inside the terminal - are corroded, you can usually clean them by first removing any loose corrosion with a moist paper towel before using a small bit of sandpaper to exfoliate any additional material from the contacts.

In this guide "clock repair for beginners", I will be teaching you all you need to know about repair and maintenance of different kinds of wrist watches from quartz, electrical, mechanical and antique clocks.
