I have had a Canon PowerShot SX110 IS for 11 years. Now, every time I turn it on, it prompts for the date and time, which is all zeroed until I set it again.

I know there is a small compartment for a CR 1220 battery on the left side that is supposed to keep the date and time. It's no surprise that it has run out of juice after 11 years.

So I bought a brand new battery, put it in place of the old one and... the problem persists.

Has anyone here seen that happen?

I can't afford to submit it for repair right now. I am going though a difficult time financially. I only have another camera, which is definitely broken and I can't have it repaired either.
