Game still boots into audit mode with at least 3.9 VDC at IC19 pin 22.
Audit mode with good battery voltage
Cause: Almost always a failed 5101 RAM at IC19.
Checks
- Confirm the voltage at IC19 pin 22.
Fix
- Replace the 5101 at IC19; some boards are fussy, so try several 5101s if the first does not clear it.
