See my previous message about today's surprise revival of our V5 "fat" 170.

After the second IPL, I did some further poking around in SST, and found indications of a failed clock/control panel battery. And that it had failed before last November's incident when it refused to power up.

Does anybody know what kind of battery a 170 takes? Or how to change it out?

For that matter, what about an E4A?
