Replacing Matrix 1000 backup battery

Replacing Matrix 1000 backup battery

2013-01-27 by check_sum

Hi all, my Matrix 1000 is playing up, won't store patches after power off, so I'm guessing the battery needs replacing. Thing is, I tried to remove it and it seems stuck. 
I have a question, should the battery just slide out with a little prise? It looks like it should, but...I'm hoping it's not soldered on or anything crazy like that. It just doesn't want to come out.

Can anyone advise? Thanks!!!
Ian
