Guys, I wanted to get rid of battery supply, being the module out of the case this was making hard
to make any test.
So I have soldered to thin wires and connected them to 3.0V DC external power supply.
Then, playing with a tweezer I have found out that if I short-circuit the gold terminal
(lower side of the module in previous pictures)with one
of the three soldered contacts, the watch lights up, it also enter in set mode, shows the calendar,
I cannot say it works, but at least is not dead or missing segments.

However, when the module is put back in the plastic shell and then in the metal case, nothing happen.
The front gold contact I'm touching with the tweezer in the pictures is normally under the top half of the
plastic shell that contain the module.
What can I do ? What is missing to transfer the battery power to the module ? Is still a Quartz problem ?
If this would be the case, any quartz from a led watch will do ??
Also, look at this picture :

Under the red circled hole, there is a gold contact that goes nowhere,
so I have tried to insert a small spring, like those that are used to connect the alarm piezo to the module,
still nothing ...
Please, any help will be very welcome !
thanks again Alberto
