I have a used Videocipher 2 descrambler which was made in 1990. It still
works but I need to change the battery in it before the module goes
brain dead. What is the best method of doing this? Can I simply bridge
the new battery across and solder the leads on, then snip out the old
battery, or will this somehow risk having a glitch occur and messing up
the programming? Maybe it would be better to have the module plugged in
while changing the battery? Also, how can I change the battery without
voiding the exchange value of the unit? Can I cut a hole in the case
above the battery just large enough to do my job, or will any tampering
void the unit as far as exchanging it for a new one if it goes
defective? Are new modules even available anymore?
Thanks for any help.
