It does have an issue. It says the clock it not
working and needs
to be set. I opened is up to clean any remaining KOH from leaky
NiCads and saw it had one of those MK48T02B chips in it.
I tried doing a search on google for anyone hacking these chips
to replace the battery but all I got were chip sales.
I've seen pages documenting this, but that was years ago. The chip
sales sites (for companies who may or may not actually HAVE the chips
they're trying to sell, grumble) have certainly swamped that stuff,
as you've found. I suggest progressive google search refinement to
find the right stuff, as I know it's out there.
