I recently picked up a playchioce single monitor pcb board to use in my red tent. I have just the board and no games on it yet. Should I be getting a menu screen when I turn it on even with no games in? All I get now is black screen. I can get service mode to work and I can get into book keeper mode in service also. I don't wanna pick up games if it isn't gonna work. Thanks.
 
I tried this with a 2 monitor that i"m working on. I removed all the boards to see what would happen, and with a bad chip I got a black screen on the bottom, and only a partial screen on the top (only the timer was visible).

So in my opinion, no you probably won't get a menu with no boards installed. If you're getting into the service menu you're probably a.o.k.
 
Alright man, good luck with it! Playchoice cabs rule.


edit: I just remembered... on mine I get the timer on the top screen, but the actual menu and everything is gone. On a 1 monitor, there's no on-screen timer.... so i'm even more positive now that yours is probably fine.
