Title: Game King Main Battery Low Message
Post by: Tilt on February 16, 2014, 10:02:05 AM
I have a Game King with the 3802 board and when I turned it on the other night after it was turned off for 10 days while I was on vacation, the message "MAIN BATTERY LOW" message with Please Call Attendant appeared on my screen. As it says, I probably need to replace the main battery. I'm assuming it's the round battery in the front left corner when pulling the board/tray out from its base? Is there a "proper" procedure when replacing the battery? Or do I simply pop it out and replace it? And what size/type is it? Can I get one from Batteries Plus or somewhere like that?
Any guidance/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Unless someone has already installed a battery holder, you won't just be able to pop the old one out and put a new one in. You'll need to desolder the old one, and solder in a new one. Personally I like to install a holder and a removable battery. I use a CR-2354 on 38/3902 boards as it has close to twice the capacity of the original and will last a few years. You can get the battery and holder from mouser electronics. Holder part number is 534-1027. The battery part number is 658-CR2354. Both were $1.67 each last time I ordered them.

All is good - took my board to the local batteries plus and my man re-soldered in a new battery. He put in a 2354. Had to turn the jackpot key a few times and hold the reset button in a few seconds. After that, everything seemed to come up OK.
