I turned my machine on yesterday and played a game of football, and turned
it off. I changed the game today and tried to play and the screen just
stays white, I can hear the sounds of the game but I can't see anything. I
put in another game it did the same so I went back to my football game, but
it didn't show up either.

Does anybody know what could be causing this? I looked in the back but I
wouldn't know what to look for anyway, even if its as small as a loose wire
I don't know where to start. Any help is appreciated.

Try cleaning and reseating the cart first.

Oops, i should slow down and read better...

Could still be the cart contacts, but on the motherboard side rather than
the cart...

Could also have jostled the main harness loose.

Usually if there is sound I start looking for a problem in the monitor. Do
you have another Jamma game board. Plug it in and see what happens.

Usually when the cart connections go bad I tend to get playable garbage...
all white seems to imply something far more insideous (a simple bad a/d line
probably wouldn't do it).
