error code 34 is  PROMS MISPLACED

 

six green flashing lamps then three red is  NO CHARACTERISER

 

these are faults with your programme card

[shallowwater]

i have been told that if i replace the battery ,this might cure it ?

No, that won't cure it.

 

Listen to Slippery, he is correct.

 

On your program card is a PROM chip, also called the characteriser. There is a bad connection between that, and the program card. Remove the chip, and replace it firmly into the socket.

 

If that doesn't cure it, you will need a new game card.

I have been having a nightmare with my Rio for the last 3 weeks as I put a T7 game on it. (Big mistake) I also had the same error you are having.  To solve this, Carefully take out your game card from the mpu5 main board.  Gently remove all the connections to the MPU5 main board, taking note or pictures of where each cable is seated to, so that you can refer back to it when you put all the cables back.  Then remove the MPU5 main board (care required) using the white clips. Open the Mpu Game Card and Board, gently dust off any debris or general dust, using a real hair soft brush, then re-seat everything and try again.  Be really careful with all the cables etc.  These are delicate as is the Mpu5 board and the MPU5 game card.  Good luck, let me know how you get on. as this fix worked for me, but I also changed the battery in the pc too.

Taking it apart like this will do nothing, changing your battery would have cleared the ram and more than likely solved the problem.
