To reset the watch, you need to 'short' the reset point with the battery. To do this, with the watch face down and the back removed the 'Reset' point is in the bottom right hand corner (a gold-coloured contact point). Use a pair of metal tweezers or an unbent paper-clip (anything as long as it's metal and will touch the reset point and the back of the battery at the same time). Maintain contact for about 5 seconds and you should get the display back.
I've just changed the battery in my SDB 500W and the above method worked. I did lose the audible 'beep' though and I'm currently on the net trying to find how to get it back. That's how I found your question... :)

    Still got the spring. Trying to re-establish contact with the back of the watch! Thanks.

    Update: I got my beep back! The beep worked with the top two screws in but didn't when the bottom two screws were in. I think the problem was the spring clip holding the battery was arched slightly and touched the piezo speaker when the bottom screws were inserted, so I made sure the battery clip was flat, screwed the back of the watch beck on ... and the beep came back. To say I'm relieved would be an understatement.

Does not start after battery change. buttons are not functioning. display is fixed on 1- 1 SAT. light is off. I tried to reset shorting AC and [-] for more than 3 sec. but nothing happened. I concern it...

mcdevito75 here, Return your watch to whoever replaced the battery for adjustments. ------ If you replaced the battery yourself, you may have mis-aligned the buttons that press against the quartz movement to change the display, you"ll have to go inside the watch and make sure the buttons are touching where they are suppose to. It"s also ossible your new battery is weak from a long shelf life. Here also is Casio contact number, 800-706-2534 Optn. 2

I have a Casio DBC-60. I changed the battery because was not working for long time, but the watch stil is not working

This is an old problem, but maybe this will help someone changing a battery on a Casio. Many Casio watches must be "zeroed out" by putting an pointed tweezers between the back of the battery and the AC terminal off to the side of the battery. On my old Casio Telememo 50, the AC terminal is in a very small hole just above the battery. On the Baby G force, it was in a wider opening, way at the edge of the watch. It has something to do with resetting the watches circuitry so it will operate again. Good luck!

Please help me to replace battery on my casio F-91W

This reset trick works with other Casio Alarm Chrono digital watches, such as my old Model W-720, similar to your F91-W. After the new lithium coil cell is installed and secured with the spring clip, the watch may show random segments in the LCD display or may simply be blank. Insert a sewing needle, paper clip, or blade of a small jeweler's screwdriver into the hole on the back of the movement stamped "AC" (All Clear) to momentarily connect the gold plated contact at the bottom of the hole to the stainless steel battery clip. The battery clip in most such Casio watches is connected to the "+" terminal of the coin cell. This will reset the CMOS chip and it should start up with the watch displaying 12:00 and the date at 1-1. Then, use the control buttons to set the time and date in the normal fashion.

Casio 2688 Wave Ceptor - No Display

On the solar charge watches, they use a chargeable Lithium battery. It is NOT an off the shelf regular battery! It is best to send the watch to the factory service rep in your area for a battery change.

In many of these models the battery is using solder contacts to the circuit board. The person changing the battery will require the original spec battery, and be equiped to do surface type soldering.

When working on this watch, the factory service will change the seals and do a pressure water resistance test. The regular corner watch service store is not equiped to do this type of testing.

Normaly, the battery in solar watches should last more than 5 years. Some are going past 10 years!
