Title: Anyone tried replacing save cap in TGCDdock with battery?
Post by: tjsnh on November 29, 2016, 11:24:02 PM

Does anyone know if anyone has tried replacing the capacitor that powers the TG-16 CD Dock's save system with a regular battery of some kind?

Or if anyone has tracked down exactly which capacitor it is on which board that serves this function?

i doubt anyone has tried to replace it with a battery.

If I was worried about lost saves, I'd rather replace the sram with fram.
