I did a video on this a year or so ago. I used a super cap as an experiment but would not recommend it. A modern NiMh batter works great in place of the original NiCad and will back up much longer than the super cap. While you in there have a look at the electrolytic capacitors and make sure they aren't leaking as well.

I just replaced the 4 double-A Duracells in my M100, and when I turned it back on, it was completely reset... hterm was missing, rexmanager was missing, the date was back to 1900 00:00:00... This suggests to me that my internal battery is dead. Does anyone know where I can find a replacement? Can anyone suggest a simple walk-through of the replacement procedure? I've read on here where others have replaced their batteries, but I didn't pay it much attention until now, since I'm reluctant to crack open my M100. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
