ic5 battery for nsm performer classic

Hi, can anybody please help. I have an NSM performer classic which is displaying er31 and wont play any cds. From doing a bit of research it sounds lke it is the ic5 chip/battery but I cant get one from anywhere. I have also read that these can somehow be reprogrammed but am not sure how, I am not very technically minded! Can somebody help please, many thanks!!!

If it's a battery, you must replace it--- It would help if you put your location in your profile, and it might also help if you would ID the model, of the phono, by "ES number".

thanks for your reply ron rich, firstly i am uk (will try to add to profile) and secondly i have no idea where to look for es number. I have found a seller on us ebay of batteries but i dont think he will post here If anybody can suggest where else i can try that would be great - thanks!!

There should be an ID Tag somewhere on the cabinet. It will give a "model number", or, the main IC on the board should have a paper label on it stating the ES version number. The battery itself, should have the info printed on it, needed to replace it--Ron Rich

If you are in the UK, then this forum is the one you want:

Thanks for your reply Ron and Ken, will look into - many thanks!

Hello Bayowl,

Sorry I do not know your name. If you send me a PM. I will dig out some roving repair engineers in the UK that work on NSM.

Thanks for all your help everyone, I have found someone in UK that will supply me with an ic, so fingers crossed!! Ron I think theres a sticker on one of the other chips that reads ES.5, but not sure. Thanks for your reply Alan if this part doesnt work I will contact you if its still ok. Many thanks again folks!! regards clair

ES-5 stands for "Electrical System 5" and is what you need to know-- Ron Rich

Thanks Ron, is useful to know for future reference - clair

Hi everyone,
Got a UK supplier to send me an IC5 chip and it works!!!! It was programmed for me for free so jukebox is back to its original settings. Thanks to everyone for all your advice! clair

Glad you got it--but I think it is just a battery--no "programming" ? Ron Rich

I know that this conversation is quite out of date now but I have the same problem. I have a NSM Performer Classic and I am looking for a UK supplier of the IC5 battery/chip. I would really appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thank you

Please read all of the "informational" (circled "I"), and "stickies" ( circled "lines") above. You should find local UK suppliers listed there, amongst other things, that can help you. Ron Rich

Thank you Ron, I will do
