If it ain't broke, don't poke: replacement battery and disconnected spring contact remain on the outside. |

I have a Waveceptor, don't know the module number, but it's "solar powered". I don't use the backlight much, but what I remember is I got it in the spring of 2006, and it's still running fine on the first battery. At one time, I accidentally activated the function where if you move the watch at a certain angle the backlight comes on, no need to press a button. Before I figured out how to reset that, the "battery indicator" was down one bar, I think the only time it's never been at "full power". I paid about 20 dollars for it, wanting the "atomic watch" aspect, but it's nice not to have to change the battery. I know on my previous Casio, somehow the replacement battery lasted a very short time, and then the strap broke, so I abandoned it, rather than buy a second battery so soon on top of needing a new strap.

You are looking for 24C1 Telephone and Indicator bulbs according to my old light bulb spec guide. They are rated as 0.06 - 085A, 1900 Footcandles, average cold resistance 33R, hours life = 5000. I might have those in my ancient parts stock if you can't find them elsewhere. At least you know what you are looking for now!

Last time I had one of these fail, I soldered a led in the metal part. |
