and here.īefore eventually replacing that chip, i had to patch up some corroded traces. While putting together this blog post, i came upon another post where someone had also had a similar problem with a corroding battery. i ended up replacing them with a compatible one known as LM339. when they arrived they were not the same package size! MUCH smaller! they looked the same when i was ordering and i did not expect this. it is an opto comparator IC commonly used for opto switches in games to translate the opto signal into a switch signal.

The chip is known as a BA10339 made by ROHM semiconductor. and when i tried that, i noticed a large amount of corrosion coming from underneath the chip. One of the ways i like to use (on occasion) to remove oxidation, is to melt the solder and float out the impurities. I attempted some sort of cleaning process, but it wasn’t successful. especially the IC chip above the writing R43 was badly corroded and the battery holder would also need replacing. the batteries had leaked and corroded anything that they were touching and areas below it. the brown area is a holder for 3 batteries. The motherboard in question was located behind the scoreboard and the problem area was to the bottom left side of that area, right behind lurch. he was able to pull the motherboard (one of several) and took it back to my shop to clean and evaluate. but i did believe that brandon was on the right track. this thing is certainly very interesting to look inside of – wires everywhere… kind of daunting. We’ll, there was a problem with this machine and brandon (always the repair guy) tracked it down to the part of the machine where the batteries had leaked onto the machine’s motherboard. they really put a huge effort into this venture).
