Several weeks ago I posted a message saying that I had ruined my Kam while in
the process of removing the battery. The springy thingy that holds the BR2032
battery in place in its holder is(was) very stiff and I bust it. The battery
holder is mounted on the enhancement board. As it turns out the Kam is OK (whew)
but of course I have no bu battery. The holder is not repairable and should I be
able to get a replacement unit I will not try to replace it on the pc board- one
scare is enough. If and when I get a replacement holder it is my intention to
solder a pair of fine insulated wires to it and tack the other ends to the
appropriate points on the pc board. The holder/battery will be wrapped in
electrical tape and laid at a convenient place in the Kam. Does this sound
doable and a good game plan?
