Just as I edited my post Nitrogen_widget put it more eloquently for me :)

that mouse port is not to be used.
Only the keyboard port. that connects everything but the trackball.
Trackball is using usb port.
it may not be booting because you have the keyboard plugged into the mouse port.
I think you really should take a look at the troubleshooting guide i posted it isn't that technical and provides some step by step instructions.

OK, I will swap it out. But it is not booting when I hook up the ps2 keyboard (to the correct port) and my other monitor either so I don't think that is the problem.

If all else fails then you can always try this guy

Thanks, I've contacted him. Seems like a nice guy but it would cost me a ton of money just to ship it to him. Then I would have to pay for repair and to ship it back. Would just not make financial sense in the end. This is why I would like to convert it to run MAME, NES, SNES, etc. with an old PC.

In which case pull everything that is in there (But do not throw it out so when you sell it it can be restored) Put in a Dual/Quad core PC and a Jpac connect everything up and off you go.
Actually you may be able to get away with the current board. I found some online documentation on it here

It says that it uses standard windows compatible devices so you should be able to just use it with the new PC.
