What should i do when the NVRAM of the Falcon is not holding settings anymore?
Is there a battery to change somewhere?

Yes, there is a battery. Inside the DS12887. I got a solution - you got my eMail.

I bought one of those here but I still need to find someone with the soldering skills to replace it inside my Falcon.

The centuriontech one need to solder into the mainboard without a socket. The keyboard do not fit.

Of course its does. While I always suggest Mill-Max 115 series VLP socket, it just fits well with most precision sockets.
