I just replaced the battery/chip on my old black and white VM1000 with a new part from DigiKey. Did it once before about 6 years ago and decided to do it again before putting the ship on the market. EDIT Was working before the battery change.
This time it did not work. The screen comes on at the everything lit stage and then never starts running everything stays lit. Tried turning on with buttons 1-3-5 held down and with 3 down. Nothing seems to help.
Have heard that sometimes the new chips don't work for some reason. Any other ideas before I order a couple more?
