PE+ no signs of life

If you go through the test screens you can change the background.
Does this make anything show up ? Do you get all the colors (ie is your Blue Gun bad in the monitor).

Try swapping Capx chips and see if that makes a difference.

The CG2298 are 64K CG ROMs and 2x the normal size of average ROMs.  You have to adjust with a jumper setting.  You need to change the E17/E16 jumper the other way on the new board to match the old.  IE: just shift it over to the "E17" config.  This is close-ish to the red LED & U21 area of the PCB. See if that makes a difference.

Brian! Thank you.
I noticed the jumper was different but I didn’t want to change it, I forgot to ask.
Great catch, thank you for looking at the picture.

Moving the jumper worked! It got the spare board working with all 5 games and the graphics look fine.

I haven’t tried activating the BV yet, looks like someone put a DBV200 in it. Anything I need to know? Fingers crossed.

I will update this topic when I figure out the original board that is dead.
