I have a roadblasters that I am trying to get working, but I don't know much about the system 1 games. The only thing on the screen are the words "No Cartridge". The RB board is plugged in. Where should I look first to try to find out why it is not seeing the cartridge? The solder joints look good on the connectors.

Thanks,
Paul
 
check the edge connector of the system 1 mainboard, i looked at mine the other day and one of the pins was bent in.
 
The motherboard isn't recognizing the cart. Try cleaning the edge connector and reconnecting it. The carts need to be fully inserted into the connectors on the motherboard. Maybe it wasn't fully seated.
 
I will try both of those suggestions when I get a chance to work out in the garage again. I think they were fully inserted though.

Thanks,
Paul
