    **** so what am I doing wrong ****

    Well got a none working G-314 and swap out the battery's (395 came out but specs say 399 both are the same ) so put new in and still no joy the movement looks ok have not pulled it out as seem like just needed a new battery or two but before that happens wonder if not doing some thing right ?

    Have worked on one of these once before and remember found it a bugger to get going as well sold it for parts in the end. But did get it going and well just can't remember what I did in the end as this one seems to be doing the same thing should I try a 399 battery instead ?

    As always

    There’s not an all clear or reset on this module is there? Changing to a 399 in theory won’t do much as I think they give the same power, just different sizes aren’t they? I take it you’ve wiped the battery contacts with a bit of tissue dipped in IPA or similar or cleaned them some other way?

    well they seem the same size to the naked eye the only diff is the 399 = sr927w and the 395 = sr927sw tried them both

    tried various ac reset think the problem lies in the double battery think theirs like an order of points that need to be shorted .. as said remember giving up on it thinking the module was shot on the other one then gave it a last play and got it working but just can't remember what I did

    from mem the sw vs w... sw slow drain on a battery and w normal drain if I remember right

    yes here

    What does SW mean on a battery?



    In the IEC 'standard' battery designation convention, the low drain or normal version of the watch battery will end with the letter 'W', while the high drain version would end in 'SW'. A common watch battery is the SR44W (or the SR44SW for the high drain version).

    Sounds like you're doing everything right. I cant think of anything else to try other than the off chance the replacement battery was a dud.
