Hey guys,
I just picked up a 6 slot motherboard and when I power it on a clicking sound comes from the speakers about twice a second (Jumbled blocks appear on screen and change with the clicking).
It does not boot up and I can't do anything with it.
Seller claims to have removed the battery himself several years ago, and the board has been sitting in his closet since. I have not yet replaced the battery.
I did some searching and found a repair place that offers their repair logs. This is what I found
"Neo Geo MVS system is dead - has clicking from speakers This system powered up but never appears to start its self tests. The clicking sound from the speakers meant that the watchdog circuit was resetting the CPU in an attempt to kickstart the system. Replaced the lower work SRAM IC to fix the board."
Is this a chip that I could just purchase and replace myself. Does anyone here offer this chip?
Thanks for the help.
