These can take a very long time to boot. How long are you leaving it for?

Was it previously working?
If so has anything at all changed in your set up?

CathalDublin

What machine is it?

It usualla only takes one minute to boot
And was working fine until yesterday
I cant check the setting as the screen goes blank
After the powersave notice comes up

Thing to remember is that these are basically a pc , so can you here any clicking coming from the hard disk ? do you have a pc monitor near the machine ?
I know on mine I can disconnect the top board and then use it as a pc for adding games etc. but it should be enough for you to see if the signal is leaving the pc side of the house.

CathalDublin

Is your machine using a CRT or LCD?
That sounds like a message which would usually be displayed due to no signal on the selected input on a LCD.

edit: in fact this is most definitely a message from a dell monitor, it just means its getting no signal from the computer.
I'd imagine the board is connected to the monitor with a standard 15pin VGA lead, has it become loose at one end?

confirmation

The monitor for the machine is an lcd flat monitor
And theres no noise coming from the pc at all

I'm guessing you dont have another Jamma board to test with ?

CiDeRmAn

Could there be a battery gone, causing it to default to a state that won't work with your set up?

horgan_p

If you're using an LCD monitor , can you confirm that its a Jamma setup ?
Not a supergun or a straight PC to monitor ?

CathalDublin

Just to add to horgans question, is that pc/board being powered by a jamma PSU or a PC PSU?

Casey120

There's usually an PC PSU powering these boards just like any other PC main board .
If the fans wont come on try another PSU first .
