It looks like open heart surgery, with circuit boards laid aside on ribbon connectors. It isn't a pretty sight. If the JR 8303 is anything like the 9Z, don't try it yourself.<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Ron Van Putte</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Jul 23, 2007, at 9:13 AM, Tony wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><O:SMARTTAGTYPE namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"> <O:SMARTTAGTYPE namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="PostalCode"> <O:SMARTTAGTYPE namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="State"> <O:SMARTTAGTYPE namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="City"> <O:SMARTTAGTYPE namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"> <O:SMARTTAGTYPE namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="Street"> <O:SMARTTAGTYPE namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="address"> <DIV class="Section1"><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Tim:<BR> Yep, the internal battery went below the 3v minimum to retain the memory… The battery will have to be replaced.</SPAN></FONT></P><DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="font-size:12.0pt"> <HR size="2" width="100%" align="center" tabindex="-1"> </SPAN></FONT></DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><B><FONT size="2" face="Tahoma"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Tahoma;font-weight:bold">From:</SPAN></FONT></B><FONT size="2" face="Tahoma"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma"> Pascoe,Tim [<ST1:CITY w:st="on"><ST1:PLACE w:st="on">Burlington</ST1:PLACE></ST1:CITY>] [<A href="mailto:Tim.Pascoe@ec.gc.ca">mailto:Tim.Pascoe@ec.gc.ca</A>] <BR> <B><SPAN style="font-weight:bold">Sent:</SPAN></B> Monday, July 23, 2007 9:57 AM<BR> <B><SPAN style="font-weight:bold">To:</SPAN></B> <A href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR> <B><SPAN style="font-weight:bold">Subject:</SPAN></B> [NSRCA-discussion] JR 8303 Tx - 'Backup Error'</SPAN></FONT><O:P></O:P></P> </DIV><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="3" face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="font-size: 12.0pt"><O:P> </O:P></SPAN></FONT></P><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="2" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">I was headed out to the field on the weekend, and checked the voltage in my Tx on the way out of the basement, only to get a ‘Backup Error’ message on the screen.
