Yamaha DX7IIFD with E!card-backup batt. - 12/14/99 11:18 AM

Hi! My 1988 Yamaha DX7II with E! card has
probably lost its memories due to backup battery failure, either in the DX7 or the
E!card modules. On power.up it only displays
a lot of fffffffffffffff'S and plays no sounds, neither does it work as master keyboard to my other modules. I now have to
load the internal ERAM and Cartridge sounds from my floppy disk every time I want to play.
I have opened the bottom cover, but am unable to find the backup battery location and -type.
Can anyone help? How much do I have to dismantle?
Please reply by E-Mail to

Sincerely yours
Arvid Kaada, Sola, Norway.

See Dave Benson's DX7 Page; it also deals with the E!

Good Luck ,changing the battery appears to be quite a job. I'll have to do it on mine soon.mn
