Quoted from Red_Devils:Added a new fresh set of batteries and same strange behavior on start up. I think I will try @lotr_breath suggestion and try removing the CPU chip and straighten the pins when zooming in on it the left side does look a little different from the other side. Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
You have NVRAM installed so no batteries are needed...ever. I wouldn't remove the battery holder, just put a sticker on it saying NVRAM is installed and no batteries are required.
I was once told by a distributor that v10 should not be installed in an original LOTR as it was released specifically for the LOTR Gold edition...I'm not sure if this is true or not as I've never seen that documented anywhere.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:Here is the readme from v10, currently available from Stern's website:
I guess there was some confusion on if V10 will work properly on an earlier LOTR with version 4 Sound OS. I don't see why it would matter if you aren't changing sound ROMS, but the v10 updates are so minimal that it probably just isn't worth the effort of going from v9.0 to v10.
If I get bored one day, I may burn a V10 CPU and Display ROM and toss them in.
Quoted from Red_Devils:Ok I'm now confused whether I do have an NVRAM chip or not, could somebody please confirm whether that chip is an NVRAM chip or not.
Confirmed.
$2 Each...
