I have this FIC 486-GIO-VT board without cmos battery so I figured I‘ll just grab an external 3 x AAA battery holder…
Turns out the board has a jumper for internal/external battery. Too bad you can‘t set the jumper to 1-2 because there‘s a cap blocking it.
Any ideas how to bridge pin 1-2 without crazy bending and soldering?
It‘s J3, jumper is set to Internal Battery 2-3.
Looks like the original coin cell holder was removed at some point, there‘s some solder tin left in the holes.
I wonder why. But I do have a CR2032 holder from some scrap board which I could use.
