Does anyone use these?

Its battery replacing time of the year so was thinking of getting a bunch of these, just wondering what folks use and if they are available in the UK before I go across the pond and order a bunch.

Cheers
 
Good price. I paid $20 a chip at this years expo. Deffo the way to go especially for keepers.
 
I dunno tbh. Who gives a shyt anyway. I never had any problems with them and was just stoked to never have to worry ever again about batteries.
 
Not sure but don't think so as they don't keep the time. This can affect midnight madness modes on some games so I've read.
 
Hi guys,

I did a more detailed post somewhere else on the forum, but I have a bunch of different daughterboard PCB's to fit NVRAM's to pretty much any pinball machine (similar to an AnyPin, but I do a different board for each specific application - and less than half the price of AnyPin) I can also offer a fitting service where your current RAM is soldered in, and will need soldering and a socket fitting (Williams sys11 and WPC mainly)

Priced from £15
 
Has anyone had any problems with these NVRAMs?
My Baywatch has one fitted.
I need to switch the machine on and off about 5 times before it will boot-up.
Then it is back on factory settings.
It will then be OK for the evening.
The next day back to square one, won't boot.

So, it looks like the NVRAM things is not retaining something when the machine is off for longer periods?? @lukewells

That's a well known fault with the large DMD's. There is a wiring power harness mod for it but you can normally just get away with re-seating the existing harness and/or cleaning the header pins on both the power supply board and the DMD display driver board.
 
Thanks Pete, that makes sense as there seems to be a 5volt problem somewhere. I will get one of those.
 
i gave up with the cheep ones as they would never keep the memory the only ones that i found any good where my pinball ones and i am not sure jim still does them
