Title: PE+ Battery Low Post by: izzyphoto on November 30, 2009, 07:08:33 PM I have what I believe to be a PE+ with 5 games on it. Got a message that the main battery was low. Is it the one I circled on the motherboard?
Thanks, Izzy Title: Re: PE+ Battery Low Post by: Stolistic on November 30, 2009, 08:03:53 PM That is not a PE+, I believe you have an I-Game there. The i960 processor is much more advanced than the one in the PE+.
The part you circled is the battery in question. Title: Re: PE+ Battery Low Post by: izzyphoto on November 30, 2009, 08:11:17 PM Thanks so much. I never was sure what model I have.
Izzy Title: Re: PE+ Battery Low Post by: izzyphoto on November 30, 2009, 08:12:25 PM I shouldn't but will assume, just unsolder and replace.
Izzy Title: Re: PE+ Battery Low Post by: knagl on November 30, 2009, 08:32:00 PM You have a Game King, actually. I believe that's the 3802 board. When you replace the battery, make sure it's an exact replacement (type and voltage).

The i960 processor is much more advanced than the one in the PE+. The part you circled is the battery in question. Thats a 3802 Gameking, not a I-Game.....the inline sockets are not on the board for the SIMM chips.... You can (Very easy) unsolder it from the top, no need to pull the board out of the tray.You might want to put a coin type battery holder in it if you have access to them...

If my local electronics store doesn't have the replacement, does April? Thanks for the clarification of the identity of this game & board.
