Hi my roller coaster has not been played for a few months and now I turn on and nothing. Red LEDs inside are on indicating power but no start up procedure. Try to do test but nothing. Is it mother board ???
Any help please

it is a jpm impact tech machine, these are notoriously difficult to fault findon.
the mother board is made up of 4 boards,
1: logic board
2: processor board
3: sound board
4: gamecard
the battery is located on the processor board, my guess is that the battery has leaked and damaged the board.

Is the battery a small round green thing. It looks corroded 1 end but everything else looks ok. Can I get replacement or repaired
