I don't own a 92, but it sounds like a capacitor needs to be given time to discharge. This was probably put in to safeguard against memory loss during a battery change.

Hello ;

two weeks ago .. I head nearly the same problem.. You have to wait at
least 6 hours
before you put the batterie and the backup battery in your TI again...
My ti works now ....  I waited 8 hours.. and I have no problems with it
now..

Bye...
