Introdução
Here we will replace the internal battery for a new one in the Roland JV-1080 synthesizer (1994).
Important 1 -> make sure that you SAVE your valued presets to a memory card, or sysex export via midi, BEFORE changing the battery!
Important 2 -> remove power cord before removing the top case.
What you need:

Good to also have: A pen with some tape on the top to hold the battery in place + compressed air to cleanup the unit inside while it’s open

Note: If you have a pen with a small bit tape on the tip you can hold the battery in place when released. Otherwise it might "jump" when released and it can be hard to find in the unit.

Using a pen/plastic tool just hit the little metall clip on the battery holder, that keep the battery in place. This will release the battery from the holder.

Have a look inside that everything looks ok.

Remove all old dust using compressed air. You want a clean JV-1080.
