The {bleep} after removing. I can't understand how Commodore could be so stupid as to place batteries directly on the board with no socket. Sigh... well, that seems what everybody did those days.
A) Cost cutting
B) A not-unreasonable assumption that the machines would be long out of use before the battery needed servicing. Obviously things didn't turn out that way :-)
Thanks for the guide. Every repair is different, so it's great to have multiple instances to examine. You might consider putting it on Aminet as well.
