Yesterday my FS1R came up with a „Battery Low!“ warning after I had already done the replacement on my M1R and TX802 one year ago. Fortunately again, the CR2032 button cell sits in a holder. Note the Sanyo LC78834 DACs.

Does not seem impossible to exchange. Good cause mine just went low too.
Thank you, I just looked at your pictures and replaced my battery. Worked out good!
Great help !Thank you
Thanks for the pics and battery info. Just swapped mine. Did it quick and the memory looks like it stayed.
Thanks for this! My FS1R battery just went out tonight! Wish I would’ve read the part about losing the memory once it was turned off though!
This is a very useful guide! Note the unit must be opened at the bottom.
Wow, mine just went out, wonder what determines life, I have gear from the 1980s that still have original battery…
THANK YOU! It worked!
I would never have done it on my own without your blog.
1) Open the unit by unscrewing the bottom and 3 additional screws from the front panel bottom.
2) remove the battery by gently sliding it back in the holder and then lifting at an angle.
Big help, just saved me $$ going to the repair shop! Much appreciated.
really big help – thank you so much.
what would we do without the internet and of course hajo for this …
fs1r is done – now i should do the same with my m1r ex :-)
greetings from germany / bavaria and many thanks from here again and again
i bought it in April 2000, there was a special soundset on it, do you have any idea how to get hold of that again? cheers
Hi Heiner,
sorry for the delay. I have no idea and don’t know anything about this special soundset.
All the best,
Hajo
Just in case anyone reads this. It is the bottom panel that you take off. All the screws plus the screw on the front bottom middle. When I turned mine back on the screen was just light but when I looked closely I could just about make out the screen. I needed to go to utilities to change the contrast. The demo worked but when I tried to play individual patches with the play button they did not sound. So again I went to utilities and did the factory reset. Now everything working perfectly.
