Remarks
The models m100 / m105 represent robust entry-level devices, however, was the gold cap - capacitor , which caused during battery replacement to maintain data of the RAM undersized with respect to the maximum allowable voltage so he that severely degraded in many devices. As a result, all data is lost when the batteries are changed. There are numerous instructions online on how to replace the built-in gold cap.
