    Thank you! Was expecting it to be a terrifying experience, but ended up taking as much time to watch the video as it did to actually get it open and replace it. Life saver!

    Great video, thanks. I see you don't have the TDW-20 installed -- I'd absolutely recommend to get this expansion module, it makes a big difference in sound, kits and playability and is worth every penny!

    Adam, thank you so much for posting this tutorial, it was very helpful as well as encouraging in taking on this task.
    I purchased my TD-20 in 2009 and yesterday, just after 7 years, the battery went.

      That's a pretty good run - 7 years! I have to replace mine about every 14 months. Glad this helped!

    Bought a used TD-20 kit. Beautiful, owned by a little old lady who only played it at church on Sundays. :) Okay, maybe it wasn't a little old lady, but it was a church kit. Pristine condition, except... a low backup battery. So I watched this video and changed out the battery. It took about 10 minutes. Hint: use a variable speed reversible drill, not a screwdriver. Thanks for the video; it was exactly what was needed.

      Thank you. Glad I could help you out. Thank you for the tip as well!

    I have not yet had to dig that deep into the TD-20. It is seated beneath several circuit boards and quite a few ribbons. If you are comfortable with electronics and stay organized as you disassemble, it is totally do-able, however, be very careful that you are in a static free environment. I would first post over on the VDrum forums to see if anyone else has done this exact procedure. Best wishes on your LCD adventures! If you are successful, be sure to post on the forums. Much appreciated!

    Thanks for this video I tried it on my own V drum TD 12 and it worked great. Roland wanted to charge over $100 plus shipping just to change the battery. Once the back cover was opened it only took a few seconds to change it.

    Just managed to replace the battery on my TD-12 using this video as a guide (I had to apply a lot more pressure to get the battery out, but it worked).
    Thanks for making this video!

    Hi, thanks for sharing this video, my TD17 module freezes, will I have to change the battery?

    • @DrumD8on
      @DrumD8on  3 роки тому +2

      Hey Ricardo, sorry to hear that. This doesn’t sound like a battery issue to me. Sounds more power related. Are you using the OEM power cable? Is the electric source clean? Might also be temperature related, but it would be hard to know if it is happening inside. If it happens again, feel if the power cord is warmer than normal. I hope you can find an answer. Good luck- maybe check over at the VDrum forums to see if anything similar has happened to others?

  • @jasona1806
    @jasona1806 8 місяців тому

    Say will this fix the problem of the screen visuals being blacked out halfway and some blinking after it’s been on for a bit ? It says to change battery when you first turn it on.

  • @CGHH65A
    @CGHH65A 7 років тому

    Thanks! Just replaced my battery based off this video. Took all of about 5-10 minutes. Better than sending it back to the factory.
    Thanks again!

  • @DrumD8on
    @DrumD8on  13 років тому

    Thanks for watching and glad you found the video useful. Although a low battery might cause some issues with the module, your problems sound like a short circuit or perhaps a bad connection somewhere on the board. A low battery would cause you to experience the inability to store less information like patterns or custom kits, and eventually a factory reset will occur every time you turn the module on.
    You might check with a licensed technician or view the vdrum forums for help.
    Good luck!

  • @DrumD8on
    @DrumD8on  13 років тому

    @KoenigPilsner - Thanks for watching. It is nice to hear you have gotten use out of your expansion card. I have thought a lot about buying one, but had yet to really hear any opinions on it. I did get to play a demo set with it at Sweetwater when I went to see the Bill Bruford drum clinic; Seemed to have as few really nice new sounds. Thanks for your comment.

  • @DrumD8on
    @DrumD8on  13 років тому

    @JackPollitt - Thanks for watching. I can't say for sure, but you can always open the TD-8 up and take a look. The batteries are generally easy to locate. I was able to find a post specific to this module on a forum called mikedolebear, and it sounds easy. The guy also lists the battery it uses. Good luck! (I sent you the link in a private message since you can't post links in the comments section)

  • @JackPollitt
    @JackPollitt 13 років тому

    Thanks for the video, very helpful. Do you know if the same procedure aplies to the now discontinued TD-8 module? And would it use the same size battery? I don't expect you to know, but there seems to be very little online about it, so I figure it can't hurt to ask. Thanks!

    great tutorial. Can you explain what some symptoms of a drained or draining battery might look like?

    • @DrumD8on
      @DrumD8on  9 років тому

      Daniel, if you're using a TD-20, you will actually get a pop up on the LCD screen that says "backup battery low." The module can still run a decent amount of time after this warning. I let mine completely burnout once and I think I got a cpl months usage. There were no other indications that the battery was getting low that I can recall before this happening however. Hope this helps.

    • @ThisDaniel
      @ThisDaniel 9 років тому

      DrumD8on Thanks!.. Specifically, I have an older td 10 unit Ive owned for years. The audio levels seem much lower lately and Ive lost sound completely via the left (stereo) channel in both the headphones and line out jacks. I was wondering if that might be a battery issue. I know you're not a roland tech, but but any insights are greatly appreciated. Ill try replacing the battery and see if that fixes the issue.

    • @DrumD8on
      @DrumD8on  9 років тому

      Daniel Lemunyan
      Sounds like you have some dirty or shorted connections. I'd try take the cover and plate off and inspect the connections. Some electronics cleaner should do the trick. If not, might be time to replace the wiring/jack. Good luck!

    How do you have that mounted on the stand?

  • @marcusonthedrums
    @marcusonthedrums 5 років тому

    Is it a battery issue I'd the screen seems to fade out after awhile. The module can get a bit heated up here and there.

    • @DrumD8on
      @DrumD8on  5 років тому +1

      I often encountered this after the module was running for a while. I don’t believe this is battery related, but more likely temp-related as you mentioned. (For anyone reading who doesn’t know - while holding the “Kit” button, turn the “Value” dial to adjust contrast).

  • @alainpatry
    @alainpatry 9 років тому

    Thank you! I was afraid to do this but thanks to your instructions I confidently performed this operation and my TD-20 is now good as new! :)
    BTW, is that a snare stand you use for your TD-20? I still have it on the rack but find it limiting....

    • @DrumD8on
      @DrumD8on  9 років тому

      +Alain L. Patry Thanks. Glad to hear this made things easier for you. It can be a little intimidating opening it up, but thankfully they're pretty easy to work on for the most part.
      As for the stand, that is a Pearl cymbal stand base that I am using in the video. I have since converted a music stand that broke into a holder as well, which works great. I agree, the position on the rack can be a bit limited. Nice to be able to move around freely!

    great video
    im having a problem with my lcd ive ajusted contrast but its not even can this battery be the problem. I'm sure its a pain to swap the lcd screen out
    ??

    • @stormyandcold
      @stormyandcold 10 років тому

      I've just moved house and encountered this problem for the first time, my problem on the screen is the lcd dots are faint, mainly on the right side and look like they're flashing. If I press any of the F1, F2 buttons the screen is normal. This is likely caused by damp in the room it's stored in. My new house is very damp in certain rooms due to being unoccupied for 5 months. Using a dehumidifier system in the room placed close to the TD12 brain can help resolve this problem. Unfortunately, if your screen is on the way out then replacement is the only solution.

    can you do a tutorial on cleaning the pots on the mixing levers and on the large selection knob? that would be awesome!!!!!

    • @DrumD8on
      @DrumD8on  10 років тому

      Thanks everyone. Hey fatchoppers01, so I might be able to do that the next time I change the battery, but truthfully, cleaning the pots and channels should be as easy having some electronics cleaner and compressed air. Just make sure you have no static electricity around! :)

  • @UtwoBed
    @UtwoBed Рік тому

    So, after you do this you would need to restore everything from the backup flash card, correct??

  • @schooder
    @schooder 9 років тому

    My LCD stopped working an info on that ? Thanks

  • @DrumD8on
    @DrumD8on  11 років тому

    Correct. There is no way to avoid a factory reset (unless you keep the unit powered on and plugged in while opening it up which is not recommended), so you should therefore back up your settings and kits to the compact flash card through which you can reload once the battery is replaced. Good luck.

    • @ronfairbanks8649
      @ronfairbanks8649 3 роки тому

      How do you backup the additional 50 sets when the control module wont let you change anything with the low battery warning.

    • @DrumD8on
      @DrumD8on  3 роки тому

      @@ronfairbanks8649 I’ve never experienced a situation where you can’t make changes due to a low battery. Perhaps it has gotten so low that it has now way of doing so? Typically, as soon as I get the low battery warning, I just insert the compact flash card and backup the module with any kits I’ve customized, replace the battery, and the reload them
      once the module resets. I have not encountered a situation where I couldn’t make changes, so not sure about that one.

    Hi hope someone can help here...replaced battery as the warning prompt kept coming up...new battery in now unit display is just glowing bright green for maybe 20mins blank... before all writing is full and black..
    Any ideas why its not working..was working fine before battery replacement..thanks..

    • @DrumD8on
      @DrumD8on  9 років тому

      Drummerboy999 - a couple things to check first, and my apologies if this seems trivial, but just to be sure:
      Have you attempted to adjust the contrast by holding the kit button in and spending the main dial.?
      Are you totally sure you have the correct battery? It should be a CR 2032 battery. if it is not this exact battery, it could cause issues.
      Beyond that, it is very hard to troubleshoot, so hopefully its something simple. one thing that can cause issues is not being grounded when you open it up. this is particularly risky in the winter when the air is very dry with static. I always make sure I am grounded by touching something else to prevent static shocks etc. hopefully it is not that! Let us know how things turn out for you.
      Good luck!

    • @DrumD8on
      @DrumD8on  8 років тому

      Camilo Barker Official UA-cam Channel
      No, that is a completely separate issue. A low battery will warn you with "backup battery low." If your screen is dim, you most likely have another issue. I'm assuming you know how to adjust the display brightness? (Holding in KIT button and rotating the wheel)

    • @CamiloMoyaBaterista
      @CamiloMoyaBaterista 8 років тому

      Greetings bro, yeah, I adjust the display brightness and it's ok, but... the last owner of this kit told me that this happened for a few use, and the module need 10 minutes for take the entire color and contrast, what recommend me? change de battery 2032 or?
