I bought a Racing Jam cabinet today. It turns on but I hear no sound or see no picture. The back of the board the numbers climb to 40,50,85, then it resets goes 31,3b, then climbs back up. Can anyone help me get this working? Worse case scenerio can you pop in a different racing game into this cabinet? I didn't notice if the board was Jamma.
 
i have a working racing jam and am in need of another board for my non-working one...i can test yours for you, if you'd like...do you get anything on your monitor at all? those numbers scroll through while it's starting up, but while it's doing that you should still see something on the screen...lots of jumbled up colored squares, followed by words and numbers while it goes through its rom tests
 
nothing on the screen at all. i can hear the screen turn on and if you fiddle around with the contrast you could faintly see the screen flicker. no audio or pictures thou. the number just keep cycling.
 
it sounds like you have a monitor (screen) problem and a game board problem too...if the monitor doesn't work on a game, you should still be able to hear the game playing...

one of my racing jam games has a bad chip on it, but when you turn on the game you can still see things happening on the screen like colors and words

if you can find a working board from a medium resolution racing game, such as cruisin usa or rush the rock, you can retrofit it to work...takes a bit of wiring and connector knowledge though...the game boards are just easily interchangeable
 
Depending on what part of PA you are in, I may buy your entire mess. I have lots and lots of Racing Jam stuff, but the boards are RARE, and even more rare to find a working one.

Also, NO ONE...and I mean NO ONE is willing to work on these boards.

i thought you sold all your stuff? one of my 2 working games now has the dreaded rtc selfcheck error on it...
 
I still have one working game, and one with the Japan-Only boardset. All the rest of the stuff has been sold.
 
There is a board set on eBay right now, but the seller won't confirm it to be working. It is at $260+.....

Someone is going to me mighty unhappy once they realize this board don't work, and can't be fixed.
