inside, to keep the patches into memory? Do I have to open the panel

curious to check if somebody else had this problem."

I've never had this problem.  I don't know about the internal battery, but I suppose there must be one in order to maintain the contents of memory when the unit is turned off.  It's nothing the owner would service, I'm sure.    

Not long ago the pedal stopped working on my RP200, meaning moving the pedal had no effect on the sound parameters it was supposed to affect.  I followed the factory procedure for resetting the pedal, and everything worked fine after that.

With any electronic device, almost anything can happen.  I created a spreadsheet to record my patch setups, and I track every one of my performance setups on that sheet.  If something happens to my unit -- if it's destroyed in an earthquake, or the electronics die, or it's stolen by space aliens seeking evidence of intelligent life on earth, in vain of course -- I can reconstruct the sounds.
