    Does it making the popping noise every time?



    If you open up the cabinet, when you turn it on, see if you can tell where the noise is originating.

    He said that the popping sounded like it wA coming from the pcb board and it pops everytime. no picture either

    Hello. This is Samuel. i'm the one that has this issue. It's like ryan said. There is a clicking sound that is coming from the pcb board and no picture comes on the screen just a repetitive flash of color. i have a VS. Unisystem with rbi baseball. i recently purchased a pcb board with Super Mario Bros. & Excitebike and tried to install it my Unisystem. Anyone know any answers. Please Help!

    Have you plugged the original game back into the cabinet to see if it still works?
  • glitch0106glitch0106
    Yes, i was worried about that and it still does. Thank God. So then i replaced the batteries on the pcb board figuring that might be it and the same thing happens. My pcb boards look exactly the same but on the rbi baseball there is an extra attachment on the left side with the game. On the SMB & EXB board there are just chips and it's more flat.

    So the rbi baseball attachment is called a daughter card. And it seems that no matter what i have to use on one game per pcb board. Although i am curious if i can still have two games on the same pcb board and just adjust the small switches on the bottom of the boards to on and off. It's just a pain in the ass to swap them out.

    isnt the mario board a playchoice board??
  • glitch0106glitch0106
    Not that i know of. Seems like on the video that all the pcb boards are generic and the games can be switched out of them. 1 game per unisystem/1 monitor. 2 gamer per dualsystem/2 monitors. In the video it details it pretty good. did you watch it?

  • rdunfeerdunfee
    cant watch videos at work. but i thought u got a sigle monitor playchoice board for some reason
