I am looking for recommendations for the battery replacement on a Neo Geo. I know that I am going to replace it with the lithium button battery. Where have you guys purchased the button battery holder from? It looks like Ebay might be the easiest place to buy it from. Anyone have any recommendations of one style of button holder over the other?

Thanks for your help Ian, your cap kit worked in solving my audio problem. It sounds great now! Some of the caps had been replaced by someone else, but they put smaller caps than required. I am sure that contributed to the problem. You weren't kidding, they were a pain in the ass to change out. Your Cap Kits are top notch! I appreciate how you organize them with labels, it makes it easier to identify the one you need.

Pro Tip...thanks

I have done plenty of monitors, but I have not worked on a Neo Geo PCB.

Do you have any other tips? Do you know of any vids or websites that show someone capping one of these?
John you should do a video on it.

Oh you are right, that does sound like fun!!

I did not clean the volume sliders yet, I will try that as well. Yeah those caps are packed in there pretty tight on the PCB!!

I picked up a Neo Geo - 4 slot the other day with 4 games and a 111-1. It's in good condition with a perfect monitor. The only problem is the sound during gameplay has static and screeching over the sounds of the game. The Neo Geo intro screen sounds perfect. I cleaned the slots with contact cleaner and a toothbrush and I cleaned the games, same problem. I ordered a cap kit from Ian today, besides that is there anything else that would cause that problem?
