I don't suppose there's anywhere online with a very simple illustrated
step-by-step guide on how to do this, is there? My IPX is dead, I can
just about solder without burning myself - on a good day - and I'd
love to fix it.

I added a piggyback battery to my IPX
successfully...
Now that I've done it once, I can't see any reason to by a replacement
nvram. I can run to Radio Shack, buy a battery, and have it fixed the
same day. The nvram faq actually sounded discouraging when referencing
the procedure. However, I think it's the best solution.
I gave my battery replacement a little twist... when I broke the
connections between the battery and the underlying chip, I attached a
9V battery lead to the chip in place of the factory battery. I then
soldered on a PC-mount 3V Li cell (3032?) onto a former 9V battery
top. I did it that way so I could replace the battery again later
without having to solder at the chip a second time.
