Bad battery holder, or your diode in the memory protect section is bad.

I forgot to mention the 5101 ram. But if it were bad , usually it
loses it after a power down....

There are some 5101 chips that go through batteries faster than
others, it could be that.

What if I unplugged the game when not in use, instead of just turning
it off?
Would that solve the problem?

Sorry, that is the same thing. Once power is cut no matter how, your
high score disasppears.

D17 is on the CPU board. Not too far away from where the battery
holder mounts...
