m1 battery replacement (3)
there's the battery! It's a standard lithium 2032 3v cell too- nothing special. pick one up at any Radio Shack or self-respecting drug store. remove it by pushing it gently upwards to clear the ridges, then lift the lower edge and slide it out. replace the battery by following those steps in reverse, and then put it all back in place (logic board, outer case). you will need to reload all your factory sounds/patches from either the original PCM card, or a MIDI dump, however- but that's all it takes to swap the battery! they'll tell you this needs to be done by a pro, but don't get hit up for an hour of shop repair time for a simple battery swap. it's freakin' simple.
