Leave the power on,
it takes a while sometimes for it to fully charge up...
then open and close the door, play a few games, the error code should go away. :89-

The battery is a button cell, not rechargeable.  Is that what you changed?

Hi Rene

Welcome to NLG

did you test the new battery to see if it's a good one

Also check the battery holder to see if there is any corrosion that may be preventing good contact
with the battery

Similar process, the board needs to be removed from the tray since the battery solders through the board, you use a soldering iron, heat up the solder, remove the battery, and solder in a new one.  Be careful not to short the battery by touching both sides with your fingers, or anything else of course.

Thanks,
Wayne

3 volt, I use BR2335, although they come with BR2330 also.  You would have to check your electronics store.

Thanks,

Karma for both of you guys!!

Here is the "Deal" on batteries...
It's a low current backup source for the RAM. It needs to be Lithium,It DOES NOT recharge!
You can use a Coin battery with solder tabs...
You can use a Coin battery holder and use a CR series coin battery designed for remotes and wrist watches (available at Walmart and radio shack)
You can use a Cylinder style battery, as long as it fits on the board..
You can use 2 regular alkaline Duracell "AA" batteries in a holder mounted remotely

DO NOT use...
NiCad rechargables
NiMH rechargables
Lithium Ion rechargables

These batteries have a POOR "Shelf Life" and will discharge in a short amount of time...

Always seems to be at one exception to a rule, and in this case it's Universal.  :5-
They use a Nicd on all of their slot boards. They do not have a low battery error code either. And I've never had a low battery??
The biggest problem is with age, they can start to leak and damage the board.
So, for Uni owners only, check it at least once a year for signs of leakage. (a salty residue on the battery) Replace when necessary.
