What would make your friend think it was a good idea to take the battery out? You should make him pay for it, I would.

I don't have my M3 yet, so I can't comment on the +/- thing. I think the flat side is + and the one with the hump (and sometimes texture) is -.

The battery is needed to keep the onboard RAM active to holding save info. You can't put it back?

 

[hakdizzle]

you can put it back as it looks the battery was never meant to be replaced. But what i still want to now is should it work without one. Thanx

i would definitly kick him in the face for unscrewing your m3 and raping the battery.
or did you do it yourself?

sry for my bad english, sry for being no help (well, i can help you beat him up)

The M3 will work, or at least should work, without a battery, you just can't save. I know the EZ4 complains about a loose/missing battery or some people say the saves are lost of the battery has no charge. It's hit or miss, I guess. But yeah, the M3 should work without a battery, you just will lose your save when you quit playing.
