Re: OT: Synth "Internal Battery" Replacement

[Travis Hartnett <tiktok@sprintmail.com>]

Be really, really, really CAREFUL.  A friend of mine had a Sony 
multieffects unit that needed a new battery.  The old one was soldered 
to the board, and when the tech tried to unsolder it, it EXPLODED IN 
HIS FACE.  Really.  There's some way to do it safely, but putting that 
sort of heat near a battery is a RISKY maneuver.
