I like purchased a new battery for my brand new ezflash junior (even though it was new, it came with a dead battery…disappointing:sad:). I replaced the CR1220 (which is what was in it when I took the battery out) with a new Energizer lithium CR1220:yay:

So like less than a month later (don’t know the exact amount of time because I was in New York having surgery and didn’t bring it:unsure:) I started getting that “battery dry” message and the voltage is now about 0.635 VDC (taken with my dad’s Fluke multimeter):ohnoes:

Anyways, I’m sooo I losing my mind:wacko:
Can anyone help me figure out what’s going on?
I’d be so grateful:wub:

Thanks:shy:

This situation is relatively rare, in order to facilitate the identification of problems, whether you can replace a battery again, replace the brand, such as Panasonic.

I tested it with several Panasonic batteries.
It was hard to get over a month.
The voltage at which rtc is less accurate is about 2.7v.
time is getting late and then it starts to reset after a while.

I think the osc uses a lot of current, or it's a problem with sram.

The same osc in omega de, but there was no problem.
Maybe it's because it's fram instead of sram.

If I would have the Schematics I could suggest where to look at but without a Schematic I only can guess that the Issue is near by the Battery.
I would check the Capacitors nearby the Battery because a Leaky Capacitor could cause the Battery to Discharge

i checked all caps and resistors.
at least no problem with continuity mode.

Poor battery conditions can cause problems.
So I will buy new cr1225 and br1225 batteries.
also I bought OSC for another confirmation.

It takes a long time to check this.
But I will try and let you know the result.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
