Has anyone seen this error before? i can't find it in the service
guide, and i can't figure out what it's saying. It displays this
message after about 5 seconds after power-on. After pressing the
test button it displays a "nEEd ClEAr".  But if you turn the game off,
count to 3, and then power back on, it boots like nothing ever happened.

Check the backplane for loose connector or just reseat the boards, or possibly the e square chip

Jim sounds like he might be on the right track.  I could buy that the first word is "Backplane".  I think that "Pron" is its attempt at the word "PROM".

Is there an EEPROM on the backplane board like there is on the motherboard of a S+?

From what I have learned (so far) is that PRon is Power ON error. I suspect the info concerning the backplane and the EEPROM on it are indeed at fault.
I would tend to beleive that info in the Mainboard DOES NOT match the info stored in the backplane (workers swapping CPU's). Start shopping for a new EEPROM for the backplane (about $5.00) if that.

I agree. And "Pron" does mean prom. They had to work with the limited LEDs to display messages.

Jim's suggestion is most likely the cause and solution. The "Need Clear" message appears when the data on the backplane chip doesn't match the data in the XU game ROM.

Clay says that "if you turn the game off, count to 3, and then power back on, it boots like nothing ever happened." -- so the data does match when it can be read properly.

Turns out this is a problem with the version of Money to Burn software
for XU2 and XU3. (there are 2 versions floating around.)  I've tried it
in several different *working* games with the same result.
