Title: Need help with a game king issue Post by: bhinkley on August 25, 2012, 06:10:53 PM I need help with a major game king issue. My machine was working, and now when I power it on I get a multi colored pixelized snowy type screen and all the yellow lights on the board stay on. I have the old style sound board without the SIMM socket. I have tried swapping backplane boards, no difference. I put my main board in a known good machine to test chips and board and the board and chips all work fine as well as the EEPROM from the backplane. What could be causing this issue?

Luckily I had another machine that had the same power supply to be able to swap to try it. I help out at a used slot shop so I could try the board there, but didn't bring the power supply with today, and the shop is closed tomorrow so I was up a creek when the board wasn't the issue.
