So I've kinda been taking a pinball hiatus for the past few months or so. Just got a little burned out. Haven't turned my games on in quite some time.
Had some people over tonight who wanted to play some games. Wiped the dust off the glass and flipped on all my games.
BSD through up a "Set Time & Date" error.
I wonder why?
Don't be lazy! Get those batteries off the boards!!
Mar 2020 my a$$
First time I've ever had this happen to me.
Guess I've been lucky so far.
I wonder of Duracell will refund me the $0.99 that I spent on the remote battery holder?

The OCD side of me tells me to do the same thing but my cheapness trumps my OCD.

I think they were in the game when I got it. Originally on-board. I added the remote holder

If the old one was already in a socket I'd do it in a minute.
I avoid wrenching on WPC CPU boards whenever possible.

Traces are so delicate.
Me after installing socket:
"It was working perfectly until I fixed it"

Battery holders are cheap and so are batteries.
Just my opinion.

Oh I've installed sockets on WPC CPU boards before. Usually while repairing corrosion damage.
So maybe I'm just lazy and making excuses.

Hell I might be too lazy to pull the board even if someone was installing it for free.
I am developing some bad habits.
