Stormtrooper of Death Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I have 2 model 102 and 2 model 200 computers. To prevent the internal backup battery to damage the motherboard, can I just cut the battery loose and will the 102 and 200 still boot ?

+chue Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Models 100 and 102 won’t boot without the battery. I can’t speak about the 200. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+arcadeshopper Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Actually they will but you will have to cold boot them every time. I sell new batteries in my store at arcadeshopper.comSent from my LM-V600 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluejay Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Yeah, they'll boot fine without the battery, but like arcadeshopper said it'll lose all contents in its memory every time you boot it. I've also seen a few people replace the battery with a supercapacitor. Looks interesting. Also I'd really recommend you desolder it instead of cutting the thing off if you can. Makes it easier to replace. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
