Some may have seen my thread a month or so ago about my $1 STV. RECAP: For a buck, didnt even care about plugging it in. Got it home, plugged it in, and wouldnt load. Tried the bios (*edit cmos) battery and nothing. Just been sitting in the garage.

Well shopboyroy parted a non-working STV so I was hopeful and bought the boards and HD. Replaced bios (cmos) battery, did some tinkering and voila.

2nd game in less than 2 weeks that went from non-working to working. Yay!

Of course, it has to be colder than something really cold, so I played it for a few minutes and did some adjusting and came back inside.

Good to hear you got it going. Was it the hard drive or did you just put the new board set in and it worked?
With all the Voyagers going bad,parted out hear lately it's good to hear another one brought back to life. I think it's a great game.:D

Changed the hard drive and nothing. Changed out the whole thing and nothing. Changed the battery and used my old hard drive and reset bios and nothing came up on the computer monitor, got pissed and kicked/broke monitor. Came back from throwing it in the trash, turned it on, and it came up. Ive turned it on and off about 5 times now and comes up each time.

Only problem is the guns dont register right. Ive went to the menu and recalibrated them a couple times and still isnt right. The red gun only works in about the middle third, and the blue works except for about the right 5th of the screen.
 
Make sure the lens in the guns are clean and also clean the screen. It also helps to turn up the monitor contrast and brightness. If that doesn't help you could have gun problems, Little kids like to beat the hell out of them.:eek:
