Oh Man!
This has been my month for electronic troubles! :>(
Problem: OLD (20 years) Roland guitar synthesizer, when I powered up the other morning, got a message that the CMOS battery was dead.
Okay, fine. I run to town and get another CR2032 battery. But, like the dummy I am, I didn't power the thing up before I made the switch.

They would then fire up just like the day they left the factory.
Make sense?
Really don’t wanna send this thing back to the factory or buy another; they still fetch $300 used. :>(
