[time-nuts] GPS Week 1536 causing problems?

Hal,

The Garmin 16-17 series has a domed lid that's well glued on to a
cylindrical base.  I sawed off a lid and took the following photo's.
The electronic pcb (70 x 35mm) is internally secured by 2 self-tapping
screws like the patch antenna plate mounted above.  The 8-core cable
exits via a sealed "plug" to stop ingress of air/water.

The 16HVS has an internal 2.8v button cell.  I "liberated" a large
quantity of unused 16HVS some months ago.  I don't have any idea how old
they were - my guess is 2-3 years - but all fired up 100% so I guess the
internal batteries were still doing their job !

Regards,

Kit

>>> Anyone else lose an 18x?

In case it dies again... Does anybody know how to take one of them
apart?  
The case is hard plastic with no obvious screws.  The bottom has a layer
of 
tough non-skid, non-scratch rubber/plastic.  I have peeled some of it
back 
(hard work) but I haven't found any screws yet.  They may be under the 
magnets which are either glued in or snap into their holes.
