Curious as to why the remote has a "non user-servicable battery", I took it apart. 8-) It is just a simple lithium button cell. After taking the single screw out, judicious use of the fingernails separates the two halves, the PCB comes out with another screw and the battery is underneath. AFAICS, no volatile memory or any other reason why someone with an opposable thumb on each hand could not change it themself. No orientation signs for the battery, though, so you have to remember which way round it goes back.
If anyone wants to buy one of these, complete with an attached Espio 160 that has had maybe a dozen films through it, let me know. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
