Title: V7000 monitor is black after installing new eproms.

I don't if anyone has had this issue before when installing new games. My BGM V7000 was working fine. I shut it down to install new games and put in  the P-10 clear chip. After I slid the MPU board back in, I turned on the machine and the monitor was dark...no image and no messages. I thought I did everything correctly, but apparently not. Any help or direction you could point me to...would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

all the chips in the right spots and tuned to line up the notches?

No bent or folded under legs on the chips?

Yes. The notches are all facing the right direction and flush.

The first thing I would try is to change it back to its last known good configuration -- put the chips that had been in there back in there and see if it works like it did before.  Then you can figure out from there if there's a problem with your new software, or if something got messed up (like a broken wire going to the monitor, or perhaps a broken monitor).
