I posted this in DL/SA forum... but want to also reach out here

I was given a UC 20th anniv cabinet with the Jamma kit and (what I believe to be) a saicom mini computer inside.

It has a couple of issues that I need help with finding the right direction please

1)  The monitor rolls uncontrollably and I cannot get it to stop despite tweaking the pots on the chassis and flyback, so I am simply going to replace the built-in monitor with a 19" LCD.  Am I correct in assuming I can then run the VGA cable straight to that monitor from the controller PC ?

2)  The PC itself will NOT turn on when the cabinet is powered up.  I have to open the back, reach in and hit the power button on the front of the PC. I actually have to do this about 5 or 6 times, completely killing all power and turning back on before the button will fire up the computer.  I really have NO CLUE what this may be and wondering if I should simply replace the computer (if that is possible)

I am not a pro at this, so I will gladly accept all advice.  I have pics of the PC and JAMMA board here but it looks to be a standard kit that I have seen around the forum.  If someone know where to obtain a replacement, I am all ears !!

I HAVE all the installation discs and codes to go with them.. so I am willing to do a reload/reinstall, but again.. need direction.

Thanks in advance

I picked up this cabinet for nothing and need to do some repairs to get it running.  Aside from the outer lights (Marquee) the game would not power up.  I got into the back and took a look.  There was power to the control board ON TOP of the CD-Rom drive (red light was on).. but I noticed there was no power to the CD unit in the housing underneath the control board.  I tried hitting the POWER button on the CD-Rom and got a millisecond of life but then it blanked out again.  I reset the game a few time (off/on) and tried this over and over.  It finally stayed on and I heard the POST beep of the CPU unit.

Went to the front of the console and stuck on the POST screen with a CHECKSUM ERROR but it gives me the good ol' "PRESS F1 to continue".  Is there a keyboard input somewhere I can tie in and get past that POST?

On a second note... is this an issue that can be fixed PERMANENTLY with the upgrade of a board?  I tried looking for Ultracade and they are defunked and I dont know who is picking up on the repair parts, support.

Anyone have any thoughts?  I appreciate your time !
