namastepat Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Yeah, that's a Chinese candy cab clone and they are notoriously unreliable. The most common thing to die on these is the monitor chassis, which can be easily removed and sent off for repair or replacement. However, you first need to narrow down what the issue is. Can you provide more detail on what is wrong with it? When you turn it on, is there any image on the screen? Does the monitor get power? Can you hear any sound playing as if there is a game running in the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hootytooty Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hi , thanks for the quick response.. when you switch the machine on it sounds like it's powering on but it' just goes to a completely blank ( grey)..screen no sound playing in the background although it's very noisy ( doesn't sound very promising does it, 😔) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crafty Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 If you post a general location (Suburb) you might find a local member who can have a quick look.... If you have keys take a photo or two of the inside and post them here. Also when you say noisy do you mean game noise or fan noise? What type board or game is in it and are there any LED lights on or flashing. Just looking inside won't hurt, but don't go touching things unless you know what they are.

Hootytooty Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 BlueStormx9, repairer, happy to pay,Need help Hey I'm still looking for a repairer for a BlueStormx9. I am in Ivanhoe in Melbourne. Happy to pay for someone to come around and have a look at the machine . The inside of the machine is pristine and everything looks like its connected ( but then what would I know). I have attached some pictures.

JamieC Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 (edited) Hi, I was wondering how you fixed this. I have the same setup that I’m trying to get working… had a green screen with lines through it… I have removed the old cart, and upgrading to vga. I have purchased the crt/vga display board. Powers up ok but getting a message to say no signal. I have seen in some videos that people cut and join input wires to the display card… would be keen to know if there is anyone in Brisbane who might be able to plug it in to a machine to see if it works… Edited September 16, 2023 by JamieC Added extra photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
