Hi there, I have been using this casio watch for 1 year plus and I attempted to replace the battery manually. It doesnt work. Can anyone guide me how to troubleshoot what is wrong? Where is the AC and AC+ to restart the watch? I cant see it.

Any reading materials will be appreciated.

A clear picture would be the first thing that we need.

Only some watches point you in the direction of the AC dot that has to be connected with the battery so that you can short start the movement.

I short started a cheap Junghans once by simply placing the other end of the tweezers pretty much everywhere that I saw metal and it eventually started but I won't advise anyone to do this as I don't know if it can damage the movement.

Only some analog quartz watches have that. The one above seems to be LCD, so it may be genuinely bust. RIP.

Not sure if these pictures help. The thing is that I brought 2 of these at the same shop at the same time. They also went kaput at about the same time. Hence I believed that it was a battery problem. 

Does anyone know how to restart these watches and how I can troubleshoot?

To be fair though they only cost several dollars but still it is heartpain to throw it away.
