How about some details?

Are you having trouble with a particular system?

If so, what I/O devices do you have? Which CPU? Does it have a debug port? RS232? USB?

ok the details are that its my arcade machine which has windows xp embedded on it

windows should load up first and does nothing.

was working fine

machine does not boot at all
starts up and remains blank screen

its corrupt start up or boot

ram is working 100%
motherboard 100%


its got a rs232 power and usb

Can we see a photo of the setup?

BTW, what makes you think that software will repair your hardware? Have you done some basic tests, like checking the power supply voltages? How do you know that your display is OK? How did you test your motherboard?

For component level technical advice, you may like to visit the sci.electronics.repair newsgroup. I believe there are also specialist arcade forums and newsgroups that are better suited to your question.

Black screen how fun. Normally is virus have yiou tried to pull this drive and do a virus scan on it? All the ones that come to me are virus that cause this problems. Normally after virus scan you can start it up again or at least I can. But pull and scan on another sytem

it wont be a virus as its not connected up to anything on the net

here what the unit looks like big box looks like a pc system

yep checked the power supply works fine power tester unit no overloads

got a hardware tester card not a cheap crappy china one

motherboard checks out 100% ram is fine


was working but we had a power cut and the machine was on and now it loads up blank screen nothing else.
so the bootup is corrupt or start up

just wondering how you can repair this type of windows xp embedded systems
