Just need the chip numbers now.

What do you call "chip numbers" and where can I find them?
Thank you.

Turn off the machine, on the lower left side is a metal box with a metal tray. Pull the tray out and the MPU is mounted to that tray, what I need is a picture of the board with the chip numbers visible.

Here is the picture you need. Is it ok ?

MPU Picture

Perfect thank you.
A few questions for you.
When you played this machine in the casino did it speak English? Or French (example when the mummy asks to "pick a key")
I have no records of the BGM listed on your top box.
I do have international VS011IX1, SG000503, and SB000523 so I can experiment with the BGMs I have for Denver Duck.

I had this machine model a few years ago and the voices were in English, which suits me very well.

Hello Rich.
Since today I have a new problem with my machine: the screen no longer shows anything!
I see that the back light works when I turn on the machine, but no sign on the screen...
When I connect an external screen through the VGA socket, I have the usual startup messages, up to the empty blue screen I told you about.
What do you think about that ?
Thank you.

That is not really good news.
There is a daughter card on the top box with a few plugs on it. You can try reseating them but be careful the wires and the plugs are very fragile.
There are no spare parts available.

On this board there’s a blue light and an orange light? They are both on.
In the bottom right of the top box, there is a very small board, with a flashing green light.

qbert · « **Reply #32 on:** February 10, 2023, 01:54:48 PM »

Snap a picture, I don't remember a flashing light but could be just the harddrive indicator.

Breton56 · « **Reply #33 on:** February 10, 2023, 02:35:59 PM »

This small board is not connected to the hard drive, it is connected to a usb cord that goes to a board behind the screen.
I also checked the connectors of the orange board that is on the motherboard.

qbert · « **Reply #34 on:** February 10, 2023, 02:41:36 PM »

The USB cord is for the touch screen.
Hard Drive indicator is like any other computer it could be anywhere on the motherboard. Is flashing led on the orange daughter card?
Picture would help

Breton56 · « **Reply #35 on:** February 10, 2023, 03:01:29 PM »

No flashing led on the orange board.

qbert · « **Reply #36 on:** February 10, 2023, 03:15:28 PM »

Did you unplug the one with all the little wires and reseat it.
If you turn it on in the dark can you see if the top box screen show a little light in the background? It will still be black but it should show some lighting.

Breton56 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 10, 2023, 03:21:16 PM »

Yes I disconnected and reconnected the connector with the little wires on the orange board.
There is a little light behind the screen when I turn on the machine. I think it’s the backlight.

qbert · « **Reply #38 on:** February 10, 2023, 03:55:01 PM »

Yes that is the back light, that rules out the high voltage backlight board. So when you use the VGA port with an external monitor it shows all of the things it did before on the screen.
You probably need that orange board not sure where your going to find one.
Please remember that these are very old computers from the 90s. Cycling on and off should be minimized if at all possible. You are beating this thing to death.

Breton56 · « **Reply #39 on:** February 10, 2023, 04:01:34 PM »

Ok. I will leave the machine to stop until the hard drive is received: I will already see if the game starts.
I can check that on the external screen.
Thank you
