I was on my way home from work today when I stumbled across a free Satan's Hollow cab. I almost skidded off the road! Unfortunately, when I got it home and plugged it in, I was met with is a blue screen (probably why it was free)! I am not sure if there is a monitor problem, but sometimes only half the screen is blue and the other half is black. I think the board might be shot and the connectors between boards are dried out and cracked bad in places. I was wondering if anyone has worked on one of these or has any ideas?
thanks in advance

It uses a MRC II board, the same thats used in trons and spy hunters. It seems those boards always have problems.
Dried connectors won't be a problem unless the contacts are broken, you can try replacing the ribbons with IDE pc ribbons.
therealbobroberts.net has them in his parts section under
Tron, et al MCR 4" SCSI cables - 5 dual row(25/50) $25.00 $15.00
otherwise find someone who works on tron boards and they should be able to help you.
good find, satans hollow cabs aren't easy to find.

Thanks for the help! One of the connectors looks like the contacts are broken. There is a board on ebay, maybe I can grab that one and it will work. It seems like the power is ok, I am wondering if one of the fuses went? What would happen if so? The speakers and monitor get power (at least one of them), the board's LED did come on for a bit and then it went out for good.
thanks
