Nipped the old battery off leaving about 3mm of the pos/neg posts sticking up from the mobo. Added some solder to them then tinned two pieces of 32 thou lockwire and soldered that to one positive and the negative posts. Bent the positive post in such a way I could placement battery packs on both easily and then fitted the connector and placed the battery holder in the convenient channel that runs along the front edge of the system. Pack is secured in place with velcro.
Tested the system and everything is working as it should.
Good work ! Think you need to clean the lens on camera/phone, a bit fuzzy but think could make out what you did.
Cheers Horun. All the posts I've replacing the Acorn RiscPCs involve removing the mobo, when in reality you don;t actually need to. I'll post better pics of the repair once I find my cell phone.
Today I did some good ol fashion IRCing in Windows 3.1 in the PIRCH16 irc client on my 1990s Zenith 286LP Plus.

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
