Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Hi - new member here!

I was looking for detailed information on how to replace the battery on my VFX-SD1.  

1)  I went as far as opening the lid on the top of the keyboard, but I didn't see the battery 
- where would it be?  And, how would I get to it?

2) I understand that the battery is soldered to a circuit board (somewhere), but does 
anyone know what kind of battery it is, and who supplies it?  

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

    www.Route66studios.com has the batterys and a nifty bat holder so you will never have to de-solder to replace the bat agian.

...thanks, I'm going there next.

Hi,

I changed the battery in my VFX-SD about two years ago.  It really 
wasn't all that dificult a process.  If I can do it, anyone can.  
= )  If I remember correctly, all I needed was a screw driver, the 
battery ($7-$15), and a soddering iron.  I did it over my kitchen 
sink.  When I threw it back into the keyboard and connected 
everything, it worked perfectly.  I was so excited to have fixed it 
all on my own.

Anyway, good luck.  It's a great experience.  = )

God Bless,

Ben
