Chihiro with no picture
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 7:40 pm
Hi, I have a problem with my Virtua Cop 3 deluxe cab in which it turns on but there is no picture signal going to the monitor. Long story short....I stripped the motherboard down to clean it out as it was overheating and it was very dusty inside. thought I'd try the GPU fan in my PC to see if it was still working and it was dead so I replaced the fan. Put it all back together and now I have no picture signal.
The avip cable is connected and everything is connected up inside but now it refuses to boot. it has power, the 3 LEDs showing what power is present 3v 5v 12v are lit but the status LEDs are off with no signs of life. I believe it is the Type 1 Chihiro motherboard with 512mb on DIMM Firmware 3.03
Is there anything else I can try to narrow down this problem? I've tried the monitor with a different source and it's ok so it's not that, it's definitley something to do with the motherboard. I'm new to the Chihiro and I'm stuck. Does it refuse to boot if the GPU fan isn't working?
