Looking for someone in the Toronto area to update maps and replace battery

[tede]

I have a few receivers, 920,921, and a couple 922, that i would like to
update, just want to do one or two for now
later will do the rest. Please send me a PM. I only use 2 of them
to move the dish, the others are spare.
Thank You
Tede

I am nowhere close to Toronto area and do not do updates, but from everything I read ---- Keep the units PLUGGED IN to power to keep the batteries up.

Tede, do you know anyone who can do soldering/light electronics work? If you do ask them to do the battery swap and point them to this forum for instructions.

Simple rule... Don't remove the new battery before installing the new one.

After a successful battery swap, if you're OK with computers you can do the MapMaster, plenty of us here to help you

Thanks for the reply
I think i can find someone to swap the battery, then i may
need a little help with the MapMaster, i don't think i should have a problem
but a little guidance with this one won't hurt.
Please let me know what kind of battery i need to buy and what other
parts i need to order and where i can find this stuff, i don't know if
there is anybody locally that has it.
Thanks
Tede

Amazon have a suitable battery with leads

Other than soldering equipment, that's all you need.

MapMaster requires a BDM interface - don't have the link to hand but can find it if you need it.

Be sure to check first if lithium batteries can be shipped to your location. i.e. I see most parts places in the U.S will not ship them across the boarder.
You can always try Sayal, they have a few locations including Markham.

p.s. I don't have a compatable BDM cable to work with MapMaster.
