Topless monomachine

[Chris Strellis]

Hi Andrew,

Does your battery look like this?

It's just a solder tag CR2032 lithium battery.  At this stage it's best to
put in a battery socket like this if there's room and fit a standard CR2032
battery.

Backup all your stuff first!!

I'd snip out the old battery first with small wire cutters.  Then with a
desoldering suction pump and soldering iron desolder and remove the small
legs left in the PCB.  Fit the socket and solder that in then add the
battery.

Good to go!

Cheers

Chris

If your monomachine stops working, apparently you just need to take it
apart, unplug and then re-plug everything in again. Then it will work. For
now, fingers crossed.

I also want to replace the battery(you can't see it, it's on a board under
this UI board.) Looking for a little help. It is solidly stuck to a metal
bracket which is then soldered to the board. Wondering if the battery is
most likely soldered to the bracket? (It's hard for me to tell, don't know
much about this stuff) If so does it make sense to unsolder the bracket from
the board first, change the battery then re-attach? or just try to replace
the battery without removing the bracket from the board, or something else?
