Texas Hold'em heads up challenge quit booting.

[Milton187]

Ahoy,

A friend has a Texas Hold'em heads up challenge that suddenly quit working. Starts to boot but then goes to "no signal ". Anyone familiar with this machine.? Bad video card or HD corruption?

Any ideas?

Ahoy, Thanks for the response. I have not made it over there yet.
I was just curious if anyone has one of these? Parts seem hard to come by.
IF it uses off the shelf computer parts that would be great. Then the only thing would be possibly some type of security chip? And maybe a HD image that would be needed in the worst case scenario.

Was also wondering if this was a common problem.

I will report the condition of the power supply and video card when I check it out.
He is supposed to be sending me pics of the unit soon.

Thanks again,

Milty

I think most the parts used in that game are too old to be considered off the shelf anymore.

Bad video card is pretty common on those things.
