I have been searching for instructions on how to replace the battery on this beast. I have found nothing. The only search results that come up are questions asking if it needs to be done, and those questions are always found at Satelliteguys. I am worried about the battery in mine since I do not wish to have a doorstop that cant even move a dish. Opening the unit up, I see there is the ACE module in the center of the board and it is a daughterboard. I can peek under the plastic ACE cover and can see a coin cell battery. I do not see how to access the battery without cutting/breaking the plastic cover. I am afraid that if I do this, it might compromise the integrity of the holder or the battery circuit. I did not try to peel off the ACE ID label or apply pressure to it so I did not see if there are any fasteners or releases under it. The top plastic cover is secured through the daughterboard to a bottom plastic cover and I cannot see how to release the pins.
Has anyone attempted to replace their battery? If yes, were you successful? If yes, how did you do it?
