Hi Derek,

That would be a good idea to get it made as a proper PCB - many of the batteries are now reaching the end of their shelf life

I have made a little circuit board with a Lithaium battery holder that will fit in place of the old SGC battery.

The curcuit board is made from Verobaord, so look a little rough, I am looking into making a proper PCB, sine there is only 2 tacks and 6 pads, it should be quite easy. Maube a DIY PCB solution.

Dear John,

I replaced two batteries both on a GC and a SGC of a friend of mine thanks to a standard CR2032 3V lithium battery which the Italian QL hardware expert
Romaldo Parodi, was able to get with presoldered pins on it. Then it was
quite easy to solder a small additional wire to reach the two pins where the original battery was placed (actually four pins are present but only two are
used).

I have shot some pictures of the procedure, if somebody is interested in
getting them just email your private email address.

Best regards

Davide

Oggetto: [Ql-Users] Aurora + SGC problem.

I have two identical rigs each one comprising Aurora + Super Gold Card +
QuBide all mounted in a Pandora Case with other components - Hard Disk, PSU,
Floppy Drive etc. -  Until recently, each rig would self start - with no
need to select F1 or F2 and each maintained perfect time and date.

However, over the past few days I have noticed that although once they are up and running they still keep perfect time, once switched off, one of them
comes back with a random time and date at switch on and the same machine
needs F1 or 2 selecting at power up.

The other machine is still working correctly.

I understand that there is a battery on the SGC (although I have never
identified it) and I wondered if this behaviour is typical of a battery
needing replacing or perhaps something quite else. If it is the battery
which is at fault, where do I go or a replacement, about how much do they
cost and what do I ask for?

Are they easy to replace or are special tools required?

Can someone please help?

Thanks.

Regards to all.

John Gilpin.
