My rowe CD100A started getting all kinds of errors and then wouldnt hold any settings. The problem was the CMOS battery on the CCC module. The battery is a 3v round watch battery that is soldered on the board. Unsolder the battery and remove. Find an old intel pentium computer motherboard (possibly other brands as well) and desolder the cmos battery holder from the motherboard. The prongs on the bottom of the battery holder should line up exactly with the holes on the jukebox CCC board. A standard computer cmos battery just happens to be 3v as well. It works like a charm, and cleared up ALL the errors on my juke. This is also a good preventative measure as well, because the original batteries are old and will start to corrode.
 
I like to buy the solder-in battery holders for the CR2032 coin cell batteries. Then you can replace the soldered-in battery with the slip-in holder and just buy a common 2032 battery at the grocery store when it goes bad or weak.
