I'm having a problem with a board in a twin Time Crisis 3 (System 246c motherboard variant) where the game settings won't save when power cycling the system and has a working battery. Reflowing the battery socket didn't work either and I tested voltages at the socket solder points. Both boards read 3v. I furthermore noticed between other 246 revs, 246c (and 256) has a 5.5v .1f supercapacitor identical to Naomi while 246b and earlier revs do not. Could it be possible cap leakage is the cause? I myself never seen any supercapacitor discussions for 246c and 256 in most communities.

Thank you
