Thank you for watching, I'm glad you found it helpful! As you can see in the video I had the same problem when I first tried to push the battery in tilted the wrong way. This would have been easier if the design of the PCB was different and the battery socket was on the top PCB, but I guess this design must have had its reasons.
Thanks for this, I have to do this asap myself. I don't trust Duracell batteries though! I've had far too many leaks with Duracell batteries. I cant believe how difficult they've made it to change a battery... I also have a Yamaha SY77 which I have to change battery in as well, and there I have to dissect the entire synth to get to the battery.... 😑 It's almost as they've made it like that on purpose
Thank you for watching and thank you for the tip. I haven't had issues with Duracell batteries myself but I'll keep an eye out for possible leaks. The design indeed seems odd. I assume it was a cost saving measure by Roland to solder the battery holder onto the PCB instead of attaching cables and positioning it somewhere more accessible. But often these issues only come to light in real life long after product release, so I guess we'll have to work with in order to keep these machines alive. Glad my video helped you doing so!
it's also possible to just open the «expansion board» cover on top and then remove the 8 gold screws from the expansion board. Then you can lift the board up, but take care of the two ribbon cables connected. Et voilà, there's the CR2032.
@@hitloose Yes you have a much better access to replace the battery but you have to be careful taking out the Expansion Board, because of the two Ribbon Cables. Place a support under the Expansion PCB at the rear to prevent excessive strain on the 2x Ribbon Cables, et voilà.
Thank you for watching! At the time I did not have user presets saved and the unit was at factory settings, therefore I did not save any presets. But this would indeed need to be done if I had user presets saved.
You probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother for the last weeks :)
Thank you for watching, glad you found it useful. The socket is indeed not placed ideally. One of the other comments mentions a technique to remove the entire PCB that holds the expansion cards. This I did not try myself, but it should solve the low reachability of the socket. Although you will have to remove more components, which also has its downsides.
You're welcome and thank you for watching. As far as I know this is the first battery replacement in the lifetime of this unit (so 10 years +), but indeed the placement of the battery socket is unfortunate.
Well, I didn’t manage to put the new battery in the socket, so I had to remove the big board above, and to remove this one, the expansion cards... but it worked just fine and at the end, everything is still working! 😁
Inserting the battery in the socket sideways is indeed tricky, since you need to slide it under the plastic part to make it click. This plastic part is not clearly visible from the side, but I'm glad it worked out in the end!
Hello, and thank you for watching. I unfortunately do not know if the procedure is identical with a JV1080. Maybe a service manual can be found on the Roland website for this issue. Good luck with your search!
I have a Roland JV-2080 that won't get past the first screen. I added 2 expansion cards and was hearing a loud noise when attempting to play sounds that sounded like distortion so I took one of the cards out and now I can't make it past this screen. Any thoughts?
Actually I do not, this sound like an advanced problem to me. A JV2080 without expansion cards should load up as mine did on the end of the video. Maybe the tech support of Roland itself could help? www.roland.com/us/products/jv-2080/support/
Thank you! I was trying to put the new battery in sloped the wrong way I almost gave up 😂 All done now thanks for the tutorial

Thanks for the good explanation!!!

I also just had to change the battery on my jv2080..thanks for your good video.. 👍
Thank you for watching, I'm glad it helped and the repair worked out for you!
Thanks a lot, just what I needed to know.
Thank you for watching, glad I could help.
thanks a lot for the upload!!! exactly what I needed!
No problem, thank you for watching!

Thank you for the insight, I was not aware of that! That indeed also seems like a good method to replace the battery.

Yes, that is the other option, but I did it few months ago from the side like in this video. Simply - the less screws I had to remove the better ;)
Hello...thank´s for the video....but im wondering did you save or copy the jv2080 data on data card before you replace the battery?thank´s...
Thank you for watching! At the time I did not have user presets saved and the unit was at factory settings, therefore I did not save any presets. But this would indeed need to be done if I had user presets saved.
Thank you, this was extremely helpful

@Axl Gustavo Yea, have been using instaflixxer for since december myself :)
Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Nice and clear. What a dog of a place for Roland to hide the battery, though!

Roland engineers could have put the battery socket at another place... hopefully you don’t have to do this every year....

Is this the same with the JV-1080?
