Hi, I have a Sega Nascar made in 2000. I believe it's called a mini cab? Was working great and I went to adjust the volume and "error 3" came on the monitor. Now thats all it says and game won't boot. Run a ROM check amd all pass ok?? But the game adjustments icon is now gone. And so is the exit mode?? Any help would be great. I need to know what error 3 is refering to.Thanks

Has it been a while since you played it, and you turned it on and found the volume up high, and you tried to adjust it and now have this error?

It's possible that the on-board battery is dead. If so, replacing it (and maybe resetting the CMOS) should fix it.

I saw nothing in the manuals about an Error 3, though:

There's a phone number on that page (top left) that you could call to ask...
 
Sega Nascar Problem

Thanks for replying, No, We have been using it regulary and it was all fine. One of my daughters thought it was a little loud. After she played a game on it, I went to turn it down a little and when I looked up it said "error 3" on the monitor. Now when I power it up after about 5 seconds that appears everytime. Also the game test mode is now gone??? and the only way to exit is to turn the game off. I will check the batt voltage in the AM. Thanks for now!!

I haven't seen the inside of these, but if they are computer based, you may find a place on the motherboard to plug in a keyboard. if so, start hitting DEL on the keyboard when you turn it on to get it to boot to the setup menu for the motherboard, then load the CMOS optimized settings, and then find in the Advanced Setup a setting for it to return to it's original state after a power loss. That will make it turn on with the power switch.

If you don't have a keyboard setup, then you may not have to worry about it.

If nothing else, call that number and ask.

BTW - have you checked that volume adjustment to make sure a wire isn't off and grounding somewhere it shouldn't?
