So I have an ARUZE INNOVATOR GENX unit with a few games, and everyone reports these RAM CRACKED, and after ram clear it reports RAM CORRUPT.
Replaced:
CPU (CPU was cooked off, a fan died)
CPU Fan (died)
RAM (Twice, two different new sets)
Two Caps on the GMem board
GMem IDE ribbon cable
GMem cartridge games (I have three now, and two more coming)
All four batties (twice). (yes my unit only has four batteries, two in security cage and two behind wheels)
Ran ram clear so many times now I can't even count. Each time I get into the game and clear all the normal tilts only to have the "RAM CORRUPT" tilt pop seconds after closing the door.
1) Turn on the unit, and after boot, it gets to the self-test screen, and you see a BACKUP RAM CRACKED error.
2) This error can be "FIXED" by running through a normal operator key-based ram reset.
3) After RAM Reset the unit will boot into the game and show TILTs for the security cage and main door.
4) secure the cage
5) secure the main door
6) seconds later "RAM CORRUPTED", call attendant, tilt pops on screen
7) Rince and repeat over and over, same result
I have tried everything I can find anywhere on the web. It's baffling how little there is about these machines. Most say you much RAM CLEAR. well, that's helpful if I only had a RAM CRACKED issue, but as it is I seem to be in an endless loop of frustration.
I have replaced, cleaned, and tweeked everything I can think of, and I am still getting this error. Errors with no context drive me nuts.
I have also gone through a ram clear and a full setup and save. Then reboot as instructed only to be back at the RAM CRACKED error.
Dose anyone has any ideas or next steps to try? Does anyone have a new or working gmem board I can purchase? (finding parts is a nightmare)
