For starters... Is the battery spot-welded into the circuit, soldered, or have a slip-in clip arrangement.

Caution : use deliberate moves when changing a power supply for a Cmos circuit... so you don't get a repeatable pulse that may "retard" the circuit...
Does it have a ROM chip to reboot the startup protocols ?? Cmos has a bad habit of ' losing its mind ' when deprived of power.

When the unit is powered off , you push on the “Hold all” button and start on the unit, after two beeps you let off on “ hold all” button
The unit starts and on “ cold start” and will reset the memories


The battery on the processor board when 100% dead, will auto boot as described. When it is 50% dead, you will see strange things occur and if the system is still functional, the COLD BOOT method described will usually cure the problem as long as the scope is on.
