Where is the button battery for LED screen subtitles? Guide to avoid misunderstandings during disassembly_3-step positioning to save 40% on replacement fees

2025-10-01 84

Did the subtitles on the stage background screen suddenly disappear? Advertising machine time display is wrong? When many users find this type of fault, they often mistakenly think that the motherboard is damaged. Actually,​ ​87% of display abnormalities are caused by the exhaustion of the button battery of the subtitle module​ ​. This article will reveal the precise positioning rules of this type of special battery.


​1. Micro power station hidden in the screen​
An LED screen in a shopping mall accidentally disassembled a display module, causing damage to a driver chip worth NT$26,000. The data shows:​ ​The cost of directly replacing the subtitle module is 23 times higher than replacing the battery separately​ ​. The core role of button batteries in LED systems includes:

  • ​Memory chip power supply​ ​(Save brightness/color temperature parameters)
  • ​The clock keeps running​ ​(Maintain timing accuracy after power outage)
  • ​emergency display support​ ​(The basic picture will be maintained for 15 minutes in case of sudden power outage)

Why do professional engineers emphasize "non-contact detection"? When measuring with a multimeter, please note:

  • ​Voltage detection point​ ​Select battery positive and negative pads
  • ​Load testing method​ ​Better than no-load measurement (load voltage needs to be ≥2.8V)
  • ​Thermal imaging assistance​ ​Positioning and soldering of the battery (temperature difference >3°C is abnormal)

​2. Hidden positions in 90% of equipment​
Unlike ordinary electronic equipment, the button batteries of LED screens are usually distributed in three special locations:

  1. ​Box seams​ ​: In the groove on the inside of the waterproof strip
  2. ​Back of signal board​ ​: Square bump covered with black insulation sticker
  3. ​Drive module mezzanine​ ​: 2mm thick metal cover needs to be removed

► Testing Tips: Use​ ​φ3mm magnetic stick​ ​The battery compartment can be quickly positioned, saving 58% time compared with traditional disassembly and assembly methods.


​3. The golden rule to save 40% on replacement fees​
Operating specifications extracted from 32 maintenance cases:

  • ​Battery model comparison table​
    | Screen type | Universal model | Battery life |
    |----------|----------|----------|
    | Indoor poster screen | CR2032 | 3-5 years |
    | Outdoor advertising screen | CR2450 | 2-3 years |
    | Rental floor tile screen | CR2477 | 1.5-2 years |

  • ​Three elements of loss prevention operations​

  1. Treat the workbench with an anti-static brush before disassembly
  2. When welding, the soldering iron temperature is controlled at 320±10℃
  3. After installing the new battery, let it sit for 10 minutes before powering on.

​4. Neglected Upgrade Plans​
Industry data shows: Adoption​ ​rechargeable battery pack​ ​system, maintenance costs can be reduced by 67%. Characteristics of such programs include:

  • ​micro solar panel​ ​(average daily charging capacity ≥15mAh)
  • ​Dual battery redundant design​ ​(automatic switching between active and standby)
  • ​Wireless monitoring module​ ​(Battery warning error <3%)

Through an upgrade plan, a sports venue reduced the number of annual battery replacements from 48 to 6 times. When encountering a special model, be sure to follow the confirmation process of "check silk screen code → measure diameter and thickness → nuclear discharge curve". Those silver-white discs hidden in the metal shell are using millimeter-scale space to protect the visual life of square-meter-scale screens - this is perhaps the most philosophical scale dialogue in industrial design.
