Hello, 
  
I recently got a Barcrest Golden Years with a MPU4 Mod4. 
It starts up all fine, but if you try to get money out of it it says: Obstruction Alarm. 
  
As this normally concerns the hopper, I replaced it with a completely new one. 
But surprise, surprise it did not solve the problem. 
I then took a look at the MPU itself. 
There I could see corrosion by the battery all over the board (pictures included). 
  
As I am new to this area, I hoped to get some help from you. 
I did search in various boards, but did not find an instruction on how to fix this problem. 
  
Should I simply buy a new MPU? 
And if the MPU can be fixed, can the battery just let out, to avoid any corrosion in future? (I do not need any saved credits) 
  
Thanks a lot in advance, 
  
LaRie
