Game King Won't Boot

[nevadabob77]

Please help.  When I boot my Game King the Ceronix logo appears briefly followed by  the message "No Serial Input".  The florescent  lights do not light up and the only  things that are working are the interior light bulb and the TITO board. The MPU is 044.  It has been working perfectly until today......What could be the cause?

Sorry this may be a false alarm.  The error message actual was " No signal input" (it read different after I put on my glasses).  The third time I booted it the message went away and everything started up....It seems to be fine for now.


I will re-post if I have any more boot up problems.  Thanks for looking!


Have a great day,  Bob

It might be that some IC or something is loose keeping the MPU from booting up.  Next time it happens, pull out the tray and make sure the chips (or flashboard) is seated correctly.  Pay attention to the leds on the MPU, if you have flashing red lights, it means either the boot chip is not in correctly, or a battery issue.  It could be other things too, but those are the common ones.

Thanks, Rick


Good advice.......It has not happened again and seems to be ok for now.  I did pull out the MPU and stuck it back in.  It might have been loose.


I appreciate your response.
