The consol is VA 0.8 USA. I power the console and I can set the language, but the selection box is not present. After that I can set the clock. After this I get the "saturn" white text, but the big blue saturn logo is missing. Followed by a black screen.
I can boot the pseudo saturn from the cart slot, but it just hangs when starting the cd.
I made a cart with the saturn test menu (https://hiddenpalace.org/Sega_Saturn_Test_Menu_v1.0f). But i just get black screen after "licensed by sega".
I removed the bios and I installed a region free one. No differences.
I replaced the working ram at IC3 and IC4 without any difference.
I replaced the working ram at IC31 and IC32 and no difference.
If the ram at IC32 is removed, the console acts the same. And yes, this ram has all the connections to IC6 ok.
I've also checked all the connections on ECABUS and ECDBUS.
The board doesn't have signs of corrosion.
