Just added a Getaway to the collection and having an issue I’m hoping the group can provide some guidance?

When I turn the machine on, the DMD alternates between “factory settings restored “ and “bookkeeping totals cleared”. Any settings I set prior to shutting off are lost freeplay, etc).

The battery area is clean and I installed fresh batteries.

I can get the machine to play by us ing the coindoor buttons to get to the attract display .

Any suggestions?

If the battery holder is still on the board, it should be remoted asap anyway, or a battery-less RAM installed. Then see if you still have memory loss at power up. The battery holder may have hidden damage.

The battery holder on the board likely has a bad connection. You’ll have to remove the board and resolder the two connections. Once you get the board out, test for continuity between the terminals on the battery holder and the connections that hold it to the board.
