Hi
So I have had this machine running for a few months now and has been working great. Then it came up with the message "Battery Fail". I thought easy fix, replace the ram battery which I had already replaced when I first got the machine. I had removed the old 3.6 volt battery and replaced with a 3 volt button one. Worked fine.
So I checked the voltage and it was at 2.9 volts, changed to a 3 volt, didn't work. Then a 3.6 volt, still has battery fail. If I removed the battery, turned on the machine. I would have to do a ram reset. If I left the battery in and turn the power off and then back on, didn't need to do a ram reset. So that would tell me the ram memory battery was working.
Left the machine off for a week or so with no memory battery. Turn the power on with no battery installed and went through some setting and noticed that the date was still correct. How can that be? I thought, must be another battery somewhere. Can't find one anywhere.
On the main board there is are two LEDs and number 1 is lit up. Not sure if it was going before I got the battery fail alarm.
Maybe someone can help me out.
Cheers
