Re: [ql-users] SGC battery
No, that was my Minnie battery; my dad obtained a replacement for me some time ago from an electronics shop. I've wondered for some time if that could be contributing to various peculiar behavior. Although the same day (yesterday) we discovered a small amount of blue-ish muck across some of the terminals on the bottom of the SGC removed it... Anyway, Minnie and everything is mine--a _really_ old black box with SGC being the main update, no Aurora, Super Hermes, what have you. My dad's Minnie battery was replaced some time ago.

[ql-users] SGC battery
Does anyone have for sale the SGC card battery? The red creature about 3/4 inch square. I have an index card recording the stamped in printing on the top surface, but not with me at the moment. Today we replaced the Minerva battery, which registered about .1 or .2 V. The SGC battery barely even made the multi meter needle quiver. I believe we were touching with the probes correctly.

Re: [ql-users] SGC battery
Just be careful when soldering it in. They can explode if you get carried away. A quick tap of solder though is fine. jim On Mar 20, 2005, at 11:43 PM, Phoebus R.
