    Need some help...
    Have a friend with a Stern Monopoly that won't hold settings after its turned off.
    Keeps going back to insert coins and 3 balls. tried new batteries with the same results.
    Any advise on where to look?

    Thanks

    Quoted from Pin_Guy:

    There is not a lot that can go wrong here, either you are missing battery voltage to pins 20 and/or 28 of the RAM, or you have a bad RAM. The voltages are very easy to check and I suspect if they are missing that at some point in this games past the batteries may have leaked and eroded the board connections at either the battery holder or at D201.
    Since this is a Whitestar game with socketed RAM at U212 the easiest solution is to drop in NVRAM and get rid of the batteries.[quoted image]

    NVRAM worked!
    Thanks again
