I have seen this conduct on this machine and it is cured by removing the backup
battery cell from the module and cleaning the surfaces of the cell and the board
contacts with a q-tip in alcohol.  If the machine has been sitting around for
months in stock the cell outgases slightly and can 'tarnish' the contacts.  I
had this when I got my Senator and cured it myself.
