I'm currently on a road trip right now and I won't be back until Saturday night. One thing to check to verify that the battery still works is to see if it still retains softdip settings. You can get to the soft dip settings by pressing B+C+D during bootup. Changing the default level to something else is the most visible way to see any changes in softdips. After you change it, power down the system for a few minutes then power it back up. If it goes back to the default level which is normally level 4, then the battery is done for. I keep around a supply new rechargeable batteries if the old one doesn't keep a charge or shows any remote signs of leakage.
If it still retains the softdip settings, there is one thing I was messing around with before I left on my roadtrip. Try formatting the memory card. You can do this by pressing A+B+C+D during the unibios splash to get to the memory card manager. Also, give the memory card a new name with and without an exclamation point ("!") as the final letter of the name. The exclamation point is what tells the unibios to save high scores to memory card or not.
I'll be able to do more testing of different variables when I get back to socal this weekend if none of these help.
