8x24 will not retain programing 1

[alphil]

I an old 8x24 with SW DR5. It keeps reverting back to defaults when unplugged. Could an on board battery be dead? If so were will it be located?

There are two 1 Farad memory caps in the software data cartridge. They are soldered to the board and must be replaced if you're losing programming.

I know customers can be pretty tight with their purse strings, but it sounds like it's time to replace the cabinet, anyway.

I've got a few customers with 824's with the same trouble. I've band-aided the problem with a UPS, but they really don't want to spend the money to upgrade.

Good luck.

the embarassing thing is that you can do a CICS replacement for around 3 grand to the cust, how many trouble calls would that cover?

It is not very hard to soldier the battery from what I have seen and I can get one from
