Hello...I come here basically daily to surf threads but I have been way out of focus when it comes to messing with the MVS..my kids play my cabs more today then I do,....with the new baby I just don’t have the time..
I have known about this dead battery issue for a long time and knew there was a thread here but “sorry’ after reading page after page I have a headache..
I need some selective help..
I went to turn on the BIG RED 4 Slot MVS and my Soft Dip settings were back to factory UH OH..
The games in slot 3-4 were not selecting,registering..(cab off..I open the cab up and reset the third game and then game 3 and 4 work..That’s weird..
I change my soft dip settings (no level credits on screen) and leave the cab on for a few hours.Back on later it’s holding my setting,but I know the battery is going...Loss of settings seems to happen more then it used to..
It’s one of those jobs I am WEARY to do but I can solder..
I have a soldering set as I replace GBA/GBC bateries..
What I need to know is..
Is this a simple de-solder battery out and solder it in?,..”any special solder type I need”..
Where is the Battery on a MVS 4 Slot (Big Board) I assume I have to split the boards..
I want to keep it simple..just get a replacement battery and install it.
I went looking on ebay
Is this what I need?
