I've been thinking,  why not just solder my own solder points to the battery? This might be horrendously stupid, but I don't know any better.

Indeed it is, don't do it even when they will pay you 1000 USD for it :-) Battery can explode, and if not, you would destroy it by heat. So you can end with beautifully soldered pins on dead battery. I speak from my own research :-)


At any rate, my polly is doing the "Nothing but weird noises" thing again, after I re-loaded the factory content last time, so the problem isn't going away.....It's time, thanks for the useful info, wish me luck I'm going in.....

Check PSU, voltages, electrolytic caps in PSU circuit, lose or dirty connectors, oxidized contacts in IC sockets (if any), PCB cracks or bad solder points or leaked battery... 

I would also try to set init patch and copy it to all memories one by one...

Good luck.
