How can I replace a PSP's 1004 CMOS battery?
My PSP CMOS battery is oxidized. It surely is dead because the console won't keep the time and date. This is not a huge problem for me, the real problem is that I suspect the acid to be the reason why the analog pad is being defective. I opened the pad and everything seems fine; all the contacts were cleaned with alcohol. I tried a second pad that works perfectly on another PSP and it behaves the same exact way on mine. The battery is located right next to the pad pins, but on the opposite side of the panel.
When I try to remove the oxidized battery, however, I'm pulling the entire base with it. The console is 11 years old but it works perfectly otherwise. I would like to avoid ruining it.
Is the CMOS battery in the first PSP soldered to the motherboard? Or is it stuck because of the acid and I just have to try harder?
How can I properly replace it?
