Replacing internal backup cell battery in FinePix A203 camera

[PetrV]

My FinePix A203 camera no longer "remembers" settings after replacing
batteries. I found there is small internal cell battery inside for
backup which no longer serve its purpose (0.8 volts only).
Unfortunately it needs to be ironed out to replace it.

I can not found a replacement of it, its dimensions are approximately
6.3 x 1.3 mm, the only number I can see on the battery is "272X" where
X can be 0, 6 or 8.

Thanks in advance.

My FinePix 2650 has the same problem. Where inside the camera is the old
battery, and how did you get to it? Maybe I can get to mine and read the
number on it.

It has became more complicated since I don't know whether it is battery
or special kind of capacitor used for backup purposes (like this one
http://www.panasonic.com/industrial/components/pdf/ABC0000CE19.pdf
which looks very similar). Any experiences ? It seems to be general
problem of cheap cameras after few years of use.
