I am mainly looking for info on the Status 1 led flash codes but read a lot tonight and may post some other useful info in this thread as well. These are likely applicable to Green boards as well.

In several of the manuals (Carnival King, Buck Hunter, Golden Tee Fore) it says "Run the power-up test by holding the START button during power-up. Watch for LED Status 1 and a flash code." but none of them list what the status codes are.

I have a red board (BBH2) that flashed 7 solid on 8, I believe it is ram.
I removed the graphics card and it flashed 2 solid on 3. Interesting.

I think @ToplessZ @DarrenA @ed12 @LyonsArcade had some of the most useful info on these and the green boards
Also found this crumb of info.
I have this now. contacted Incred Tech support.
it blinks 6 times and solid on 7 - but 6 and seven mean Ram failure

I'm going to attempt to transfer the ram from a second board... who knows if that will work - and my SMT experience (and toolset) is non-existent

LOL you should have asked for a complete list of the error flashes :) You just posted some very useful information.....
I changed the title but yes, I am looking for complete list of error flash codes. It would have been nice if @freakincluck got all of them. Looks like he had a short stay here.

Anyway there are two banks of dram on these boards.
4x MT4LC4M16R6 4 MEG x 16 EDO DRAM @ u110-u113
4x MT48LC1M16A1 16Mb: x16 IT SDRAM @u16-u19

So many do.

They come for the solutions.

And leave.

Or leave because of the trolls.
 
Well I reached out to IT Games and had no joy. Not helpful at all. They told me to contact Raw Thrills :confused2: Maybe someone can contact them saying they have a golden tee fore red board and ask for the status 1 led codes.

I will do some experimenting and see if I can figure more out but would be nice to just have the list.
 
Why would you contact Raw Thrills for a board that was made by IT? Who did you talk to.. sounds like they don't know shit about there own products. (Prolly a new employee)

Just email but there were a few people. I think they just don't want to help.
 
I was probing around a bit tonight on my board with 8 flashes (ie solid on the 8th flash). Feel free to suggest alternative methods.
GND CS on U18 (MT48LC1M16A1) = 7 flashes
GND CS on U17 (MT48LC1M16A1) = 7 flashes
GND CS on U19 (MT48LC1M16A1) = 6 flashes
GND CS on U16 (MT48LC1M16A1) = 6 flashes
soft conclusion is my board is making it past self test of these DRAM, which are probably working in pairs, but what is next?

removed U50 (M48T02 Real Time Clock) = 5 flashes

I individually gnd'd the OE of all the the EDO DRAM (MT4LC4M16R6) and was still get solid on the 8th flash. I will probably spend some more time checking signals on these but it kind of makes sense that they are logically next, if they are even addressed by cpu.
