Fitting a Lithium coin battery to A4000

[mechy]

The one you list there has the diode already on it, its just a matter of soldering it in(Watch the polarity!). dont worry that it has only 2 legs,as 2 pads on the one side are connected.I don't particularly like when they solder the diode making the assembly sit tall like that so i tend to solder the diode so it sits lower,using some hot glue under the coil cell holder. The one you list should work fine.

Thanks Mechy,

The other option is to get the one from Amigakit and get the repair guy to fit a diode. Where exactly does the diode go? There are 3 holes from where the barrel battery was attached. Going this route would save time and get the board back to me sooner...I'm keen to start building it back up with my new parts
