Hi All

This is my first post on this site. I am a tech serving arcade and gaming equipment. I have a red lindbergh in a sega Rambo machine that has been moved from one site to another the machine was working fine before it was moved (so the owner tells me), but now i have no signal message on the screen.

I have checked all the usual stuff ie connections etc.

I have also replace the battery on the main board and the base board.

when it boots it beeps once then 3 times pause then 3 times again.

Also the led on the base board is orange from what i remember it should be green.

Board has been blown out with compressed air and all fans working fine.

Any help would be great.

Sounds like your average PC errors.

Make sure all cards are seated, GPU especially. Could also be a RAM issue, so check they're seated properly or try a different pair of DDR sticks.

Those beeps are memory related - you get that when the memory isn't inserted.

So either ram not installed correctly, faulty or you've got a mainboard fault.
