Just picked this up off CL. Game boots to pictured test screen. UJ4 box turns red, the game goes to Revision 3.1 screen, then blank screen. Is this as simple as replacing UJ4?

Try pushing down on the uj4 when booting to see if it's a cold joint. If not reach out to zenomorp, he is great with repairs on these.

Just tried it no luck. I'll try reseating it next. If no luck there I'll pm him. Thanks for the tip.

The board has 2 red leds, should these be green?

UJ4 is most likely not bad. It's either going to be an open trace, lifted trace, lifted leg, or contaminates in the legs causing a short. Visually inspect the chip for any of the above issues and report back.
