Looks like someone messed with country settings..

Not sure why W13 is out? On the chart at the link above it says that should always be installed.
Quoted from Homepin:The "W" resistors are actually NOT resistors but wire jumper links. This bunch set the default language - at some point the setting probably has been changed and a jumper fitted (blue wire) to bring it back to English.
If you have such limited knowledege of this board please DO NOT try and remove the soldered RAM to fit NVRAM. You will destroy the board.
Send it out to an expert PLEASE!
Solid advice there. WPC boards are a lot more fragile (thinner traces, etc). I try and warn people via product descriptions when there's a high chance without good equipment or technique they might be lifting pads or traces for anything that requires desoldering/soldering for installation. Wish more people did, but it doesn't sell products. I've actually steered people toward remote battery holders for Williams games *enough of the time*. I feel better that way, knowing I didn't help someone feel *too confident* or like they HAD to give it a shot because they already bought the product and didn't realize what they were getting themselves into.
