got my marvel vs capcom today (not working) took the shell apart to just see what the voltage was on the battery. 3.56.. so im like hummm i take my Xmen cota out and plug this board in... i turn it on and it make something click 5 or 6 times but never shows up or makes any sounds.. anyone ever have any issues like this what is the lowest voltage the batterys can get before they kill over?

i check the voltage at the battery and other places on the board to see if the battery was loose causeing it to die but it was good..
 
Is it a blank colored screen? Check the connectors on the boards to make sure there aren't any bent pins.

That battery voltage should be fine. Is it an original battery or is it a replacement?
 
Try pulling the boards apart, check for bent pins and then really squeeze them together. They require really squeezing. The first one I had, I thought had suicided because all I got was garbage. Turned out to be a bent pin and I was being too gentle.

I fixed the pin and put them together and it still looked bad, so I consigned it to the "look into it later" pile. A month later, I accidentally stepped on it and felt something pop. I plugged it in, fearing the worst and was greeted with a perfect startup screen. That's when I learned that you really need to squeeze to force the connections together.

i looked it over. i am useing the main board i got from you ken there are no bent or broken pins on that.. i took the game out of the shell and put it on that way... and made sure it was "in there" the screen it just blank i here the monitor come on and then here this clicking noise and nothing come up. but everything is still running...
 
ok so i messed with it agian.. the clicking noise i here is the Coin counter..... it counts up 6 or 8 coins and the screen is kinda green... is this a freaked out board or is it just suicide?.. my SF alpha 2 i know is suicide and it just has the green on the screen but it doesn't make the coin counter work... i wish there was a way to find out before i spend the money and have it phoenixed....
 
so you think it is something in the game board.. this is the only time it does it.. is when i have this marvel vs capcom in there and only when i first turn it on..... i figured if it was shorted it would sit there and do it forever till i turned it off... i put my Xmen COTA in it and it doesn't do this.

Sounds like it suicided.

You can download a ROM image from the CPS2Shock team's web site that you can use to determine if it did suicide.
