I have a friends WHO dunnit at my place that is not holding its settings when turned off and then on again. I pulled the board that holds the batteries and it looks fine. reseated the cables and the batteries are good. Im kinda new to machines of this era so any ideas on where to look first would be appreciated.
Quoted from LTG:I'd grab a meter and see if battery power is getting onto the board. Bad batteries, bad battery holder is a good start.
LTG : )
I just pulled the battery holder board and tested it with the batteries in .Getting proper battery voltage so it must be further up the line ?

Quoted from exflexer:Provide a picture of the battery holder and the CPU board.
So next I would check the voltage at the point the harness plugs into the board like LTG is referring to. I noticed some connector corrosion in your one picture. No sure if its from a previous leaked battery or just the elements the machine have been exposed to through out its life. So the question is the corrosion in the battery harness too or the back of the board.
