A plea:

To Ethan and others who bypassed their dallas or clones modules then
wired to fresh lithium battery. *Please,* snap
pictures of your mods and post it on web somewhere to see what it is
like. Because I have yet to cut into small pile of modules that I
have.

FYI:
Some chinese dallas clones didn't have potting compound! I was able
to fix one by prying it open, drill two holes in shell, yanked
the old tiny coin and wired it through that holes to
battery CR2032 holder on top of shell. :-) These modules came from
pcchips motherboards. Ugh.

Cheers,

Wizard
