I was given a 2005 Golden Tee with Red Board and CGA to VGA converter board. The guy that gave it to me told me it worked up until about 6 months ago and then one day when powered on they get no signal. They were going to get fixed but decided not to. It is not the complete machine, previous owner did the cabinet to pedestal conversion and was using a 40 LED monitor.
Now, when powered on I get No Signal on monitor and no sound. I can go through the Menu's on the CGA to VGA board and it has a solid status/power led. On the main board there are two Green Status lights that blink randomly and then the Red IDE led light blinks like the hard drive is working and board are working correctly but No Signal on the monitor. I can plug the monitor in the Video Card and it will not display anything when the machine is powered on. One note, the hard drive is making a whining noise, I work in IT and I know this is a sign that hard drive is failing. The hard drive is the only thing that I can physically see or hear that could be an issue.
Anyway, I need to know if I need to get a new drive off ebay do make this work or if it is something else? This one had like 29 courses on it and I want to make sure I get the right one.
Here the Chip and Board Info:
Boot Chip? - Eagle U15 V2.04
Red Board P/N - 2011 Rev 9.4
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Doug
