System time won't stay set.

I have an Expression 2x that is close to 20 years old and it won't keep accurate time on the clock shown on the screen.   It is always wrong at startup, so I reset it to the correct time, which works until you power down the console.   Upon restart if more than a minute has passed, the clock will be incorrect.  Is there a user serviceable battery that can be replaced to help the Expression 2x keep the time accurately.

  • If it’s just the time that gets lost then you need to replace the Smartwatch IC, ETC part number Z534 (This is for Exp3 but I’m pretty certain it’s the same thing for Exp2).

     

    The chip is hidden underneath the channel count chip so you’d need to be ok removing that first. See below (once again for EXPN3)

     

    ETC can most certainly provide this repair for you.

     

    The memory is held by two caps.
