pierrecarlier Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Hello everybody I'm a freshly owner of a wonderful Nomad 10 ! I bought it used and the battery to maintains clock is dead... I'm very affraid to open the nomad... I saw a post about this topic but the photo is not enough to understand how to do... The xlr input is gone ! Maybe somebody from here can shoot a video about the disassembly ? It will be very very nice ! Thank you so much ! Quote
jason porter Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Nothing to be afraid of. Remove all screws from top and bottom of case. Note the longer and shorter screws and where they go. There are another 4 screws (I believe) that hold the XLR board in place. Remove them and the ribbon cable if you are comfortable with that. I think you can still change the battery without completely removing the XLR board. Quote
Sprotnik Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 I did it myself a year ago or so. It´s easy as long as you do it carefully and paying attention ( as jason says about the screws). and make sure about the battery model needed, there´s a very common battery used in domestic devices with an almost exact name that is a little bit smaller.

jason porter Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 Keep a close eye on it for the first few days. I've had unreliable batteries in the past, as well as a poor connection of the battery. Quote

John Blankenship Posted January 21, 2019 Report Posted January 21, 2019 When installing a replacement internal battery, it is a good idea to carefully burnish the contact areas of the unit and the battery. Also a drop of electrical contact cleaner such as Deoxit on the contact points is a good idea. So little current travels through those contacts that any resistance from oxidation can be an issue. The same reason you should occasionally roll the AAs in a remote control as it burnishes the contacts. Also, it's not a bad idea to roll AAs as you install them into a transmitter although a transmitter draws more current so oxidation is less of an issue. Quote
