I recently picked up an Amiga 500 with the 512 memory expansion in it. Great condition, still in the box, needless to say I was psyched when I got it.
When I opened Workbench, I'd get an error message about the battery, so I decided to take a look at the memory cartridge.
I'm glad I did. The battery (probably from sitting unused for so long) has white froth on one side. Luckily I noticed this early enough that it still works and doesn't seem to have done any damage beyond the battery itself.
Does anyone know if I can get a new battery for it?
Those with the same cartridge (and any system with a battery) check your battery now!!
