I am considering slicing open the part epoxyed to the

replace or hook up a new 3VDC source. I dont wanna buy
a new chip....
My plan is to use a Dremel type cutting wheel and do a "lobotomy" on the
module fitted on top of the chip.
Then, either connect a new 3VDC source to this (2 alkalines in a battery
holder) or simply replace the cells inside.
It's a single lithium cell inside
If the thing (the top module with the batt and osc) is
not filled with
epoxy
I imagine this can be done...does anybody know if that
module is "hollow"
and removing the top will reveal the components inside...??? Or will I
just
be cutting through solid plastic/epoxy???
It's solid. My colleague James Carter did this for one of his Suns, and he
has a picture somewhere, showing a (replacable) battery fitted to the top.
I can't find the picture on his web pages, but he mentioned it recently in
response to a similar post on this list, so look through the archive...
