Error Note 605

ok, so i recently got this error message. after pressing the start button it boots up as normal. only problem is it wiped all the scores and unlocks and it does this every time the machine is booted up. Chris Plazter (lanman) referred me to this...

basically, he told me the one currently in the cab needed to be desoldered and solder the new one because it has to do with the "TIMEKEEPER". anyone have experience with this to get my machine back to normal?

Yep, the RTC battery died. I'm surprised yours lasted this long.

I have them cheaper than Digi-Key, if you want one. Getting the old one out is a pain, though.

I would like that but I have no experience when it comes to soldering. I know you used to live in Fort Wayne. Are you still in indiana? I'd pay you for the part/work/travel expense if you are able to fix the machine. I just want my baby back to normal

My machine's RTC-RAM was broken when I got it so I know your pain - it's a real pain in the ass to have to put in the unlock code in every time you turn the game on but I've gotten used to it at this point. I'll gladly buy a replacement too but I'll need someone with professional experience to attach a new chip to my board
