Hello,
I watched the TNT Amusements "Todd´s Tips" how to secure and outrule future acid leakage by istalling a lithium source instead.
1, Will the WPC boards run on a button lithium battery ? I read somewhere it is too weak as the drain supposedly is higher than older alphanumeric games. The game that Todd performs the change on is a older non-DMD Bally game.
2, I have often seen in his videos on WPC games there is not the button-like cap battery but instead the cylindrical A4 like lithium battery.. Does that support my point no 1 ?
3, When at all installing the lithium battery on WPC, does it call for removing the resistor as on older games ? They battery may "explode" if the resistor is not excluded as the board wants to give some charge to the battery... In that case, which resistor is closest to the battery and what is it´s spec on the technical sheet ?
4, Again like on older games, does a diode need to go in immediatley after the battery in the chain ?
Thanks for any input.. I want to be sure how to go about.. Todd´s video is very informative but I have stumbled on info that WPC need a different approach.
I have the diodes, cap holders and batteries on the bench and ready to go.
Thanks
