How to easily replace the battery in a Yamaha DTXplorer | Quick Tips

[@williampearson7788]

Brilliant. Just changed in 15 mins and all good. Only fiddly bit making sure you reconnect white clip, but very easy.

[@mariaturner9932]

worked great, i got the initialize error too but perfect after turning off and on. I also had a little cable tie holding the board onto the cables that run into the back, i needed to carefully remove it so i could get the pcb cable back in to the board. thanks for helpful video

[@anayazg]

Thanks! Worked perfectly. Did get an initialize data error after replacing the battery, but turned on and off and it was good to go, no more low battery warning!

[@mariaturner9932]

yes same, your tip meant no stress! worked great

[@lmllmll5242]

Thank you very much, this is helpful and informative, I appreciate it!

[@jimbarth3161]

Also I don't have a owners manual. How do you factory reset

[@williampearson7788]

Hold shift, press utility, scroll right with arrows until factory comes up.

[@mauricioperez2919]

I haven't changed it yet, but I get the battery error and another error, and it doesn't save my sets. Is that also caused by the battery? I've never opened the module since I got it.

[@drgearaustralia]

If the battery is low and needs changing, it won’t save any new data.

[@williampearson7788]

Yep. Had both messages, all good now after battery change.

[@evanmegan7916]

I changed the battery, but now it won't turn on. Is there anything I need to press after changing the battery and plugging the cable back in?

[@williampearson7788]

Nope. Would check ribbons and white cable is in properly and not bent the pins.

[@haze1843]

Hey can i get some help i replaced the battery and did everything but it still wont turn on

[@drgearaustralia]

You’ll have to take it to a tech then.

[@williampearson7788]

You reconnect white wire properly? Make sure pins not bent when put back in.

[@suneildham]

Thanks. Great guide!

[@timw3851]

The white plastic holder won’t come loose for me, even with pliers. Any ideas?

[@drgearaustralia]

The quick connect will release if you keep the board still and pull it straight out. That’s why we use a thumb to anchor to the edge of the board and pull away from it.

[@timw3851]

@@drgearaustralia it was too stubborn I just cut it out haha. No more battery low now though so thanks a lot!

[@Lana-vh9ll]

Thank you!!!

[@jimbarth3161]

I guess you will obviously lose any kits you put together when you factory reset??

[@_YoAdrian]

2 notes: (1) Mine had a zip tie around that cable you disconnect and the board. That kept me from disconnecting the center clip. (2) The battery flips up out of the casing with a nudge under the opening. Cracked part of the casing before I realized that. 🤦‍♂️

[@jimbarth3161]

Here I go again. I'm old school so please forgive me Is it just as easy to replace a bad quarter inch plug?

[@josemaravilla1871]

Wow Dr Gear Muchas Gracias for saving me some cash just by watching this awesome tutorial video, God bless you🎼🎼🎵🎵🥁🥁🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻‼️

[@liquidized106]

Thanks man!

[@drgearaustralia]

No problem!

[@taigoun]

Thanks.

[@dont-do-that-bro]

good!❤

[@alexbox30]

Merci 👍

Shows how to remove the screws to open the back, but doesn't actually show how to change the battery.

[@drgearaustralia]

Would you like me to show you how to use a screw driver too? Getting to the battery is the hard part and if you need someone to show you how to replace a battery in a holder, I might suggest taking it to a professional as it’s obviously beyond uou.
