I have a Yashika AF 230 that needs the backup battery replaced. Where is it and How do I change it?
icycler asked:
My camera is 20 years old with original “backup” battery. I recall the original dealer, long ago out of business, opening something on the camera and installing the “backup” battery. My camera is dead, have a good “normal” battery but think because the backup battery is toast, the camera will not work.
I don’t know if my assumption is correct.
any suggestions will be appreciated.
Please explain how to get the “top cover” off. What side is it located as I am looking at the camera facing the lens with camera facing me. How many screws and what size is the backup battery.
Thanks again.

internal backup battery should be replaced (located under top cover plate, on left side of body, lens mount facing forward).
