In many of these units there is a battery the size of a quarter.  In some
units it is on the main board, and in others it is located behind the
display panel, next to the processor.  It takes some dissasembly to get to
the battery.  Take care when handling this area.  It is easy to damage
componets from static, or break any delicate ribbon cables, and etc.

There are also some models that use a gold leaf capacitor for this.  This
part is usualy located near to the processor.  It would be a value something
like  0.5F / 5.5 volts typicaly.  It is available from Sony parts, or may be
able to be substituted.  It would take some delecate soldering skills to
change it.
