I've envountered a situation with the Funhouse settings buttons which are causing me some grief and can not find anything so I hope someone can point me in the right direction or may have a solution. I booted mine up and it had signs of a battery problem. Batteries were dead and I replaced them and when I went into my settings to reset the options i discovered that on the bank of four buttons for escape, volume up/down and enter my enter button is no longer responding to being pushed down preventing me from entering any type of options or test modes. is there an alternative way to get into the options menus? Has anyone encountered this before? Thanks for the help in advance. I can not find any information readily on line or on pinside to assisst me so any help on this is greatly appreciated. FunHouse

Thanks for the advice LTG. I had done a complete cleaning after I removed the batteries and think I have a temporary fix with an off board battery holder which I had in my stock and I have my diagnostics back for the time being. Do you know if there is a decent batter replacement solution for the platform which would replace AA batteries altogether? Will removing and resoldering the components help? I do see some acid which was removed with a solution which should negate the acid damage. Not too much of an issue as it was very slight and I believe it was from the previous owner as this current situation i had only resulted in dead batteries and no additional damage was observed when i removed the board. Game has been playing well for a few years.

I have my buttons working correctly and have to replace a battery holder on the board. Keep getting factory settings are reset when I power up. Dont know if thats because of the battery adapter I have not making proper contact with the existing battery holder or if its something more. I set the time and free play back up but unfortunately it is not sticking at the moment.

What would you suggest to remove the acid properly? I have used rubbing alcohol as a first pass.
