Does your Ryan TCAD 9900B show a message saying
"BATTERY LOW"?
Well, this is what Tom J. was seeing on his
unit and he began to investigate. Here is his pirep on how he handled it in CSOB
style:
"I contacted
Avidyne - they do the tech support now. They want $500 to replace the battery
, but has to
go through a dealer, so that will raise the price more.
I pulled the
unit, removed the 5 screws holding the end cover and found the clock battery.
You
have to carefully remove the ribbon connector to access the battery.
Only should be
attempted if you are comfortable working with computer components and can
protect from static."
