On a side note, once you clean off any residual - install a NVRAM and be done w/batteries.

If you need to install a socket, find a local tech if you aren't comfortable w/desoldering a chip w/a lot of pins.

Quoted from gdonovan:

I have used vinegar and Zep, skip the vinegar and go right to Zep.

Ditto^^, but find the thread about it. I've done it, works well.

Quoted from KDPinball:

Update: I put in a remote battery holder and put the board back into the machine. The machine still boots, and is successfully saving settings with the new batteries.
Thanks for all the help everyone.

Use lithium. A lot less likely to leak. Cheap insurance.
