That is usually the #1 culprit to IC failures. Mine were acting funky and got them replaced and everything works pretty well, i think i just have some lose wiring back in there or something.

I took my board over to Batteries Plus, not sure if you have any of those, and I got one of the guys there to solder in some new batteries for about $50 including the batteries.

The ones you have in there arn't like a normal battery connection like a CD player or remote would have. They are a little wacky. Some of the 7s were able to use an external battery pack but i'm not sure if you can rig one up for the e28 boards.

Hope this helps.
