Step 1: Looking the Dead Battery
Theinternal date and settings info is keept with a3v battery and they are expensive, so I looked in my junk box (a HUGE box of electronic disposal) and found 2 AA rechargeable batteries from a solar lamp for the garden, plus the wires and the battery holder, priceless)(and just because I didn't pay for that XD)
