Any idea why it would not boot? Changed out power, dvd rom, checked i/o...out of options at this point. There's power to the DVD. Because if I unplug the ide cable. I can eject disc. Is the motherboard toast? Thanks
 
Do you have a video of the boot? If not, what step does it get to? Does it even spin up the dvd drive? What dongle are you using?
 
It won't spin up when the ide is attached. Tekken 5 dongle. So not even getting to the first step. I'll get a video shortly
 
you do have a 256 and not a 246 right? how long are you waiting for the boot?
 
Yes 256. Jumper is on 256 as well. Waiting long for a boot. I don't even see the power to the DVD rom unless I unplug the ide. That's what makes me think it's possibly the motherboard.
 
and have you tried a different DVD ? (not the reader but the disc itself)
 
Tell the full story of the system please, that will help to find the cause.
 
My guess is that its an LCD - so the initial signal is a 15khz signal, which doesn't show properly on the LCD - once it switches to 31khz it looks correct.

Stricken!

It's this exact issue. Same thing in this vid. I'll make my own after work sometime.

1.Obviously your machine is a 246, not a 256 system, so you can't run Tekken 5. Soul Calibur II/III are both 246 systems, because the 246 system label is affixed vertically, and the power board is exposed, while the 256 label is affixed horizontally.
2. The first thing to do when starting up the 246 and 256 systems is to verify and read the dongle. You will hear about 7 consecutive beeps. Please make sure your machine can complete the first step. Whether the machine can run normally is not determined by whether the optical drive is rotating. If the dongle card needs to be cleaned, please wipe the metal slot with an eraser.
3. Tekken 5 is divided into 3 versions: Tekken 5.0, Tekken 5.1, and Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection. Which version are you running?

I apologize for not giving the proper context. It was indeed running great (tekken 5.0) then out of nowhere just stopped. Tried every option so far except swapping a motherboard. You bring up a good point though. I am hearing no post beeps.
