Nfl blitz 2000 gold/nba showtime HELP PLEASE!!!

Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me. I just got an NFL BLITZ 2000 GOLD/NBA Showtime arcade cab. When i turn it on.. nothing happens, no sound, no screen, nothing. I cant get into the test menu, cant do anything. I can see it powering on, the harddrive light is flashing, the monitor is on but no picture. and the lights are powered on the main board.

what could it be?

such a headache :(

with these, it could be any of the following:

power supply: be sure that your +5 is at I believe exactly 5.10 at the JAMMA edge -- the general perception 'round these parts is the Vegas boardset is finnicky about +5.

hard drive: you might see hard drive lights flashing and such, but it could also not be loading due to a file error, physical drive error, OR depending on where it's getting its power from, it might not be getting enough juice to run. if it's plugged into the Blitz/Showtime board, it might be a problem with situation #1 with the PSU. if the +5 is too low, the +12 might be too low as well. (hard drives need 12 volts) -- this was a problem on a Road Burners we have, the power supply was at 4.86V, and somehow miraculously ran for an entire year like that until the "3 taps and you're out" message came up. :)

video card: worst case scenario, the video card took a shit. you won't be able to verify this until you've ruled out #1 and #2.
 
I worked on a blitz cab that did pretty much the same thing yours is doing. The one differance is that his screen came up solid green. I re-imaged his HD and that took care of the issue. Start with the power first though.
 
Turn the brightness up on the monitor to see if you get a white screen. If not, concentrate on getting the monitor working first so you can see if you are getting any signs of life from the board...
