Hi

Try removing the memory modules (RAM) and clean contacts with a eraser or something similar and replace them making sure they are inserted correctly

Latest update. CPU board was swapped out as well as the i/o cards. Still no power to the monitor. Spoke with Blue ridge slots and they will trouble shoot the monitor for me. Will post an update when I hear on the monitor. Special thanks to John for helping me out with the game.

Does anyone know whats up with Blueridge slots. They have my Dick Clark monitor for over 3 months. They do not respond to emails or voice mail. I spoke to Jim 3 weeks ago and told him to just ship back the monitor . I still did not get it back. I am frustrated and wonder if any one else is having problems with Blueridge. Any ideas what I should do next?

Jim is a respected and valued member of the NLG community.  It's been mentioned on the forum before that he has had some health issues that he's had an ongoing battle with -- I'm not sure if that's what has happened here or not.  I can't speak to him not responding to your messages, but I can suggest that you try sending him a PM through this site (here) -- he'll see it for sure next time he logs on, and hopefully will get back to you. 

I know a number of times in the past other folks have said they haven't heard back from him he had in fact replied, but the reply ended up the recipient's "spam" e-mail.  If you have a spam or junk folder in your e-mail, it might be worth checking that out to see if his reply may have gotten directed there by mistake.

Does anyone know Jim's user name through this site so I can contact him,

I had also included a direct link to send him a PM in my previous reply.

Best of luck with your situation.  Jim is a stand-up guy -- I'm pretty sure there's just a communication snafu in play here.

Very stand-up guy.  I communicate with Jim often and did last week.  The guy gets busy...maybe he's busy wrapping up for the year.

Well I have tried contacting Jim again through this website and again no response to my requests.  This is just not acceptable business practice regardless of any health issues. I am concerned I will never get back my monitor and be left with a broken machine. If any one can help. I would certainly appreciate it.

This machine found it's way to my shop to try to fix all of the above problems and I found two problems with the machine. First the display battery was dead and second the three wire communication plug on top of the video display was not a good connection. Just a little tweaking of the connectors and the game has been up and running for about two months. It just go's to show, check the obvious first. Bill, Keystone Coin-OP
