First I bought the battery, a CR 2032 (3 volts), from a regular electronics store. Then I placed the M1 upside down (with main power off!) and removed the bottom-plate. Then I removed the motherboard (the large one in the middle). (Strictly speaking, I didn't remove it completely, since some wires were still connecting it to the synth.) The battery-housing (with the battery inside) is fixed to the inside of the motherboard, so I had to tilt the motherboard upwards in order to access the battery. After some trial-and-error, I found out that I had to push the battery down while pulling it out of the housing. Obviously, I applied the opposite procedure for inserting the new battery in the housing. Then I put on the motherboard (carefully, so that everything fit) and finally the backplate. Hope this helps! --Jo | Jo Asplin | Phone: 776 44034 | | Dept. of Computer Science | Fax: 776 44580 | | University of Tromsų | Email: joa@cs.uit.no | | 9037 TROMSŲ, NORWAY | WWW: http://www.cs.uit.no/~joa |
