Looking for an opinion on what I think is wrong with my machine. - WMS 550

I have a WMS 550 Life of Luxury and I've been trying to get it to work again. A whole buncha stuff happened with it (you can check my other post for more details,) but I have a universal clear chip and the diagnostics screen never shows up. I've tried just about everything and the conclusion I've come to is that my SRAM chips are corrupted. After inserting the SET chip, nothing appears so I put in the original XU3 chip. Then it asks to proceed with a soft ram clear. It says it was successful and the data was restored and I proceed. The machine tries to boot up again. It fails and gives errors. Usually an error on the black screen (something that looks like a command line) that says like "Stack too low at: 'long string of numbers'" and a "TILT! Operating System Data Corruption" error that flashes on the screen, or something like that. It also says the data has been lost. I think the SRAM chips can't retain data anymore, even though the soft RAM clear says it was successful. That’s why every time it reboots, it ends up repeating the same cycle — soft RAM clear, failed boot, data lost, and “TILT! Operating System Data Corruption.” Someone also said my original XU-3 chips may be having problems. Any opinions on whats going on? Before I order SRAM chips.

I have not read your other posts. Have you tested the batteries to make sure they are good?

Yes, I tested the voltage and even got new batteries. They work as they should.
