> Just open up the bottom of the synth,>Yeah, opening the case is simply a matter of removing the screws on the bottom - lots of them! No need to keep track of which goes where; they're all the same. When you flip it over, rest the top on something that won't damage the knobs (I use a couple of stragetically placed paperback books). The battery is the silver disc, about the size of a quarter; pops right out of the battery holder. Go buy one with the same number, pop it in. They're most commonly used as "security system" batteries these days, so hardware stores usually have them.
