Fat Frog internal battery?

[smence]

Hey,

I have a Fat Frog at the venue my latest show is in. It's largely running fine, however it loses nearly all of it's settings every time we power cycle it. I haven't tested it excessively due to time restraints, but I know it forgets memories 90% of the time, time and date, and lock code, although patch settings are fine.

I have been saving the show to floppy and reloading it any time the desk gets rebooted, so it's not the end of the world, but I'd really like to avoid losing the entire show immediately after a late night lighting plot again...

 

Is there an internal battery that needs to be replaced perhaps?

 

Thanks

Hi Sam,

 

It definitely does sound like the internal battery.

 

There's an article available here for the Jester range, but the majority of the information is still correct for the fat frog:
