spottydog:
1)A voltage spike may have damaged the game
2)Are the dimms inserted correctly?
3)The suicide battery in the cartridge may have 'died'.

Cosmic Amusement may be able to repair it for you.

arcadefever:
any idea why they have the suicide battery in some pcb ?
protection ?  ???

Dreamwriter:
In *all* PCB's, not just some.  Capcom started putting them in games since before the CPS1's, and they were in every CPS1, CPS2 and CPS3 game.  It's for copy protection - keep people from making bootlegs and pirate units.  Kinda hard to copy the encrypted ROMS when the decryption key isn't stored on a ROM so can't be read.
