The Defender Machine I just got only starts up in Book-Keeping Mode (0000 coins left is the message I believe) from my web searches I understand this to be battery failure, but the thing is I could have sworn it didn't do that when I first looked at it and tested it...The AA batteries were corroded at the time, so the batteries couldn't have been working, I have ran all the RAM/ROM diagnostics and it says everything is OK, I just have to advance through the menu each time to play...My question is I have cleaned up the corrision & acid from the board- no significant/apparent damage, tried new AA's and still same problem, I assume that the battery holder is shot and upgrading to a lithium battery/conversion kit will solve this? Does that sound right?
Thanks for any help...
