[MPU Mecca]

Hi everyone, hopefully someone is able to assist me.

I have Barcrest It's Amazing fruit machine, was working fine up until a few days ago. I have only had it a couple of months though.
When I turn it on a really loud alarm sounds 'Hey Check It Out' with the error code '52-36' alarm code, No characteriser. I have disconnected the speakers!

I have plenty of pics of the actual alarm message and of the game card that I can post if it will make the diagnosis easier.

I think it is something to do with the MPU5 board or the actual game card itself. Could be the chips, but they are the type that are soldered in place and not the type that pop out. I have checked the fuses inside and they are not blown either.

If anyone can suggest any potential fix or if indeed it is the MPU, where the best place is to get a new game card/MPU5 board, I have looked on eBay and there are a few Barcrest MPU5 game cards but none of the same game, which I assume is what I need!?

Thanks guys.
