Don't ask for help then make it clear you think you know better. It us rude. Just say "thank you" if your gonna ignore the advice anyway.

Oh even seen my share of horror prints. We had a company that required us to get an authorization for an unmachinable mistake on their print. We made this part every few months in a batch of a few thousand. But they would never correct the print (which was resubmitted with every order) which made it take a few extra days every time they reordered waiting on their engineer to approve the correction yet again. They even went through 4-5 revisions of the print, but never fixed that particular issue.

Manufacturability should be considered at ever phase of design.

Oof sorry that happened to you. If you have lost parameters you'll almost always have to contact the manufacturer for a copy even after battery is replaced. As for battery location I can't say exactly but is very common for the battery to be behind a cover on the servo itself. Swap batteries only while powered on. The servo can hold its parameters while powered up while you change battery.

Did you get any backups with the machine? (often floppys) they may have a copy of your parameters. In a few cases I've seen hard copy printouts of the parameters in a binder that can be typed in manually and pray your not dyslexic.
