Hi there! :smt006

As with any troubleshooting, you need to check the basics. For that, please read this article. It will give you the 'what you need' and 'what to look for' to start off with.

You need the necessary connections and sufficient power at the minimum.

Where are you based.

If you look to get rid of them, then let me know. Always after buying faulty stuff.

I bought them in USA and Japan trough Ebay and Yahoo Auction.

I can't believe each of them all don't display on the screen.

I got another Naomi 2 in my Intial D3.It's working perfectly.

Who can help me how to find out the problem??

Thanks very much

why not just switch out the working one in your Initial D machine, and test all the other boards in there using the same settings, connectors, that would be my route to test, as everything is in place and working, and just switching out the mainboard, will narrow it down to just a specific problem, make sure dip settings match

Do they turn on at all or just have no display (and makes a lot of noise)?

I have the impression that you may not be having the correct display settings.

but if you had it set to Std Res instead of High, then dont you still get a picture albeit a little on the messed up? but no picture at all is a different matter, as stated, do you get the fan noise? red/green lights inside the mainboard that you can see thru the small holes on top? have you tried connecting to existing system with same dip settings?

A certain few games, such as Initial D, will not run on low-res mode. If it is on the low-res setting, the system will power up but only have a black display. No error messages or sounds of any sort.

Well I didnt know that, I thought they would power up, but just look messed up, well that certainly sounds like the problem peanut is having, hopefully that will resolve it by checking the settings

Thank you every one.

I only power up the mainboard.I saw the red and green light on when I turn on the power.But all of them no display anything on screen,except one which I got out of the Initial D3.

I test them in the same dip,same power,same cabinet.

Thanks a lot.
