Here's a new one I haven't seen before.    I  was clearing and programming  S2000 reel.  (original / older style board ...not the one with collapsible handle)... anyway...

Cleared and programmed... then the  "low battery"   error showed up.   pulled the board.  Installed fresh battery (the  3V battery)...  Cleared and reprogrammed ... ans  STILL came up with  "low battery" .... pulled board... checked for   3V  on the board / across dif  sections.  Found  the 3 V  all places  checked.   Put the board back in... still   "low battery" .

Any Ideas ???   Why would I still be getting low bat. ????

( I grabbed another board off the  shelf... cleared / reprogrammed   and game is up and working. )

Thanks !

Are all the pins in the plugs on the edge of the board in good shape?

Yes... all the  edge connector pins are good /  straight. 

 ( I don't think game would allow key chip and set up parameters if pin (s) bent on  edge connector )

Thanks.

I was thinking the MPU probably has a dedicated pin to the motherboard for that low battery detect

Check the following resistors on the MPU board:

R17 - 100k
R18 - 1k
R23 - 1M

All have +/- 1% tolerance.  More than likely one of them has climbed way out of tolerance and will cause the Low Battery error you're getting with a new battery installed.  This same problem occurs with Igame/GK 3902 boards as it has the same battery voltage detection circuitry as the S2000 non enhanced MPUs, just the resistor numbers are different.

K+ for the tip Tilt

I have a few boards this happen to after I installed
a new battery...will check those resistors out.

Hi Guys i have also had this problem before and replaced the batt with a 3.6V batt and then the problem went away.
