Quoted from m00dawg:Hmm good call. What do you mean by hacks? Just some ghetto trace bypass wiring and stuff? I read moving the battery pack is often a really good idea (to somewhere where, if it does leak, won't cause as much damage)?
Yep, that sort of stuff. I have a game right now that someone made their own "connector" by clamping each wire to a section on the board. Its not a big deal to fix, but its just a pain. Just look the boards over to make sure someone didnt solder wires directly to the board or something worse.
Moving the battery pack is a good idea. Check the battery holder for corrosion too.
