In this episode of the Sega Dreamcast Repair Series I'm fixing a drained battery that regulates the internal clock. If you've got a Sega Dreamcast that asks you to set the time each time you turn it on then that means that the internal battery is dead and needs to be repaired. Check out this guide on how to do that and even replace some other components. Here's the timeline breakdown:

There's some fumbling in this video but I wanted to show what it's like to do this operation for someone who doesn't have very much skill. I hope this helps and that you enjoy!
