Just wondering if you all think it is a board problem or something I am not thinking about. I have a red tent that has the playchoice kit install on it. It shows the screen that has the games on it and when I hit 2 (enter) the screen turns blank and you can hear the game playing. I can press enter again and the help comes up and when I re-enter the game it goes blank again. The playchoice harness is not cut or splice anywhere.
Also anyone have a scan of the playchoice kit for the red tent manual?

Check your power supply voltage when your selecting games as crazy as that sounds mine did that once I got mine in the 5+ range it stopped.
 
The power supply that was connected to the playchoice harness was reading 4.91 V, Then I hook it up to the vs. harness and that reads 5.02 V. Still a no go on the vs harness.
 
Have you checked to see if the PPU is still on the Playchoice PCB?
Do you have a spare PPU that you could swap onto the Playchoice PCB?
 
The PPU is still on the board. I don't have another playchoice ppu to swap into it. Looks like I will be looking for a new board when we get our income tax.
 
What games? Depending on the game, you most likely will get different colors.

Different colors are better then a black screen and one step closer to diagnosing the problem.
