Key XX and PWR together to go to the Welcome screen key BACK and then enter the password the default is Q K and then click NEXT key 4 on the next screen REPLACE FAILED UNIT enter the table number when asked and wait till the take over sequence to complete

If that does not correct the problem, use a spare Bridge Pad to take over from the failed one using the same keying sequence as above.

If the batteries in a bridge pad fails during the game, they can be replaced without loss of information. After replacing the failed batteries with new one's press the PWR key and then the 3 key. The game will restart at the board and state it was in before the battery failure
