Just acquired a road kings machine ..
After a good cleaning waxing and once over its running great..
Last night when turned on it came up factory settings.. all my settings and custom messages were gone.. still played fine but back to 3 ball ect ect ...
I had put new batteries,in about 3 weeks ago .. now it's ok when turned on ? I have not put my settings back yet.. but last night if turned off for 30 seconds it would give the factory settings message .
You would have to open the coin door and hit the switches in side to start the game.. this morning it turned on and back to ok.. gonna try changing my settings again and c what happens..
I put 3 Duracell batteries in.
Brand new ...
Anyou ideas on a solve for this ? Or where to look ect..

Check your voltage from the positive lead on your board from the battery pack. Follow the trace from the positive side of the pack. See if your getting 4.5 volts. Also check continuity from the negative side of the terminal to ground.

My Road Kings was doing this and it ended up being a cold solder where the battery holder attached to the board. What Gnatty said to check is good and make sure you check voltage all the way to the battery holder. I had to wiggle my battery holder to get the volts to drop in and out. So mine was intermittent if that makes sense... I ended up putting a remote holder on, figured if I had to mess with it I should move it off the board, that's my 2 cents
