I put my games in storage 5 years ago and I could have sworn I took the batteries out, however upon opening one of the 3 today, I noticed the batteries never got removed from TOM. They have leaked in the battery holder, picture below. What is the best course of action here? I have not yet powered up the game or anything, do I clean the contacts? Do I have to replace the boards? Please advise.

Thanks

No corrosion on the board at all from what I can see, I just pulled holder out. So I cannot resuse the existing holder I assume? So what is recommended? NVram or remote holder? I saw Any dmd+ I believe its called, is that the one to get?

connector below it looks good for now.

For nvram. It appears it's not plug and play? Can someone confirm and I'll just pick up a remote battery.

Thank you. Assuming I end up ordering something, can I play without the batteries in for the meantime?

What do you clean it with?

So I let sit in vinegar and water and all the green is gone. Can I reuse temporarily?

I'll probably just get this

Seems simple and cheap. I was thinking of extending the wires on this one, but because of the pins that come out the bottom, mounting it would be a chore.

Working for now.

Yes, I do, Florida and thank you for the generous offer, But even if I did do that, isn't the vram a problem for TOM? I thought its a problem for games like tom that do midnight madness and such. For NGG and Dr. Dude. I would probably do it.

I think I will probably send it out. Have to setup one of the other games first though. Kid ain't gonna let me send it out when he just got a game to play with.

NGG and Dr. Dude.

Started new thread for NGG in case anyone can help, this one looks pretty bad.
