Actually....No....I didn't know to do that!

Thanks! that is obviously a fantastic work flow for this kind of thing and I really appreciate your telling me,
I'm a musician by trade, and I've only gotten into electronics over the last couple of months, so there is a LOT I don't know, and though I've been successful in a few projects, I have a long way to go before I would ever consider myself a competent  tinkerer,

What I want to do is just replace the internal battery, for the 2nd time since I bought it the polly 800 has started to make strange noises instead of the appropriate sounds, last time I re-loaded the original factory info through the tape ins, and managed to get it back up and running, it seems to me that I re-loaded the lost info onto what little was left of the battery, there may have been enough juice to hold the info and run for a few days but I think the battery has had it now.

So yeah, no mod, actually just trying to get back normal functioning.

Donal, bro, surely you know to sellotape your screws to a piece of
paper, and take some photos as you disassemble? 
and you've come across dead memory batteries before, and know
that whatever you try you won't get solder to stick to a lithium cell.

and then, of course, you'll know you can more easily put in a battery
holder clip, or if you're in a real rush, just sellotape the d∗mn thing while
you figure out what is working and not.

this group is steady and slow moving these days, but everyone is
serious and i doubt anyone is up for a spot of verbal jousting.

the battery issue is a regular one, probably why you had to bump it.
;)

so what are these volca mods then ?
