The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

This is an extremely easy repair to do. No need for a repair shop, really
no need at all.
All you need to know is how to use a screwdriver.

This thread shows some pics of the innards of the AN1X.

Remove EVERY screw on the bottom of the AN1X.
The top photo shows the battery in the middle (the round silver coloured
thingie).
It's easy to replace. Type number: *3v CR2450*

Second picture of the link above shows the battery top left.

Oh and don't forget to backup your sounds if you care about them :D
