    Cheaper to just buy NVRAM that will last forever.

    OP
    Quoted from Zukboy2002:

    I have a ton of them already and all my games have remote batteries except for my haunted house it has what's in the pic. But

    I'd pull that DataSentry right now!!!!

    Those things kill Gottliebs all the time.

    See all the destroyed traces around those resistors? It is killing your board as you read this.....

    Quoted from acebathound:

    Looks like it's already started to go.. resistors above it show corrosion.

    Yeah, that board is going to need some work to repair.

    There is a cracked diode on the right too.

    Quoted from Grizlyrig:

    Wow vid,you got a good eye

    I've probably seen more dead Gottlieb boards than working ones - all thanks to DataSentry.....

    Quoted from pinball_faz:

    What makes "DataSentry" so much more destructive than just batteries leaking.

    Normal batteries you see the leakage corrosion at the ends of the battery(s) before it starts really eating up the board.

    DataSentry battery leads are hidden below a flush mounted pack.

    By the time you see the leakage, the damage is quite widespread.

    Quoted from pinball_faz:

    Furthermore, how did it cause the solder joints / traces to erode ABOVE the component?

    Very common phenomena.

    The corrosive vapors rise upwards.

    -

    Here is another Gott; note the damage ABOVE where the battery used to be:

    Quoted from EvanDickson:

    I am right now sitting here, watching Netflix, and installing Andy's (barakandl) nvram in all my machines.

    Best idea ever.

    You never hear of NVRAM leaking corrosive gasses or catching the game on fire.
