JVL retro io battery

(1/1)

fewpheonix:
So just finally was able to desolder the old io battery out, and replaced it with a new battery in my JVL retro.On startup however, the machine still gives me the corrupted file, needs factory reset message. I am concerned I didn’t solder the new battery wires in completely. I know I have the wires going through the correct holes. Do the wires need to be bent after coming through to touch the sides of the board? Should I use solder just in the backside? Any advice would be appreciated? Thank you all!

Megatouchmike:
It will do that on the first boot. Shouldn't after you factory reset. If it still is, you've botched the solder job

fewpheonix:
That’s what I figured. It still gives me the message on repeated startups. Can I fix the soldering by adding more solder?

orizzle:
You should get a multimeter and ensure the battery is making good contact. And that you didn't install it backwards
