>>My Yamaha SY77 needs a new internal battery. I can get to it fine (a mere
20 screws), but it's soldered in. I have a friend with soldering skills
that's going to look at it.
Just wondering if any of you have had to do this...any success stories
(hopefully no failure stories!)? I've gotten a few tips from the
rec.music.makers.synth group, like be careful of the thin tin leads... I
wish I could just clip the old out, clip the new in!<<
david- it's better to change these things too often than not often enough- aswell as losing the memory of whatever system is involved (drum machines can be heartbreaking, especially), you run the risk of the battery leaking & damaging the circuit board it lives on. this fate befell many korg poly6 synths.
my preferred technique is to cut out the old battery so that the wires are left quite long. then twist these wires & the wires of the new battery together so that the new battery is mechanically secure. this minimises the soldering time required & thus the heating of the board & the battery, neither of which particularly like getting too hot. & obviously, observe the polarity.
if you're changing the battery before it has failed, you will need to do a sys-ex memory dump or similar in order to save y'r data.
