Hi Jules
I found removing my QX-10's battery stopped the machines working. I tried
replacing it with a lithium battery after disabling the recharging circuit
but that didn't work either.
In the early days of amateur radio transmitters with embedded microprocessors, some idiot
manufacturers put the firmware (all of it) in battery backed RAM. So if the battery went
dead, you had a boat anchor, not a radio.
I hope that sort of thing isn't what you're dealing with here...
