Weird fault with Firepower

[goodolddays]

Hadn't turned on my Firepower for a couple of months (sacriledge) .. turned it on , got the dreaded Audit mode . Turn off/on a couple fo time with door open , same thing. Found the backup battery (Lithium mod) was flat ... a bit weird in itself... changed that .. still Audit mode .. reseated the 5101 ? Ram .. forgot to use my earth strap . Game booted no probs but after turning it off and back on it had no memory (ie didn'r remember credits etc) .. its had a fiar bit of gameplay recently.. especially since our teenage daughters have become interested in it again past few days .. and now .. voila ! its memory is working again

I'd check the diode that protects the battery pack . (and play it more often)

Gday Dave .. yeah .. already thought gotta check that diode .. gotta pull my finger out .. and yeah she is definitely telling me 'play me play me.... don't ignore me

G'day Dave , strange sort of fault.

Definitely change the diode , but you never know the 5101 may be a bit flaky , i'll post you a new one.
