Yes. See as follows:

Remove dead cell:

Remove R29:

Remove C27:

Get some new parts:

Solder the diode and socket in, and pop in the coin cell:

The diode's band (cathode) should connect to the other diode's cathode
when mounted in the R29 position correctly.

I should really write the repair procedure for these pictures someday as
I took them like 5 years ago...
