You're welcome. Mine still gets a run out every now and then.

If your CPU still has the original round NiCD memory backup battery on it, it might be worth desoldering that to inspect it or just pre-emptively replace it. There are a lot of retro systems starting to be heavily damaged by leakage from old on-board batteries now.
