I'm troubleshooting a Time Crisis 4 pcb i picked up a while back. The seller advertized it as not working because it "doesn't boot". The price was super cheap, so i figure i'd give it a shot.
All i have connected to TC4 is the power, vga cable, and rca audio cables.
I'd expect to hear a few beeps when i first turned on the unit, but all i'm treated to is a black screen and no sound. Unit is definitely powered as the system fan is spinning. Voltages are solid and the hard drive & dongle are original. I even swapped out the hard drive with a clone and used the Sys2X6 dongle to double check if the originals are faulty.
I'm almost certain its probably a dead mainboard, but there's one last check i want to do. What if its because i don't have the V329 I/O board connected?
Anyone with a working Time Crisis 4 pcb please do me a favor? Just unplug the V329 i/o board from your unit. and tell me what the system does when it turns on. Does the game go to a black screen with no beeps?
