this is exactly what happens when the old battery dies:
some weird patch with noise etc, on all the presets.
so:
it is very easy: 
get a battery clip from a PC motherboard, or same type.
(carefully) unsolder the existing dead battery (it was 
soldered in in mine)

then connect in its place the new battery clip. 
fit a new battery and you're good to go. if it 
dies again, next time you'll just have to clip 
a new battery in.
be careful not to overheat anything, and you 
should be ok.
