what do you thik this could be I tried changing the dipswitches and pluging and unplugging the mobos ,

First, do you have a MVS cart in?

All the dip switches should be off if you want to play a MVS game (dip switch 7 may be on, since it is for Free Play).

And, if you want to enter the MVS main menu, you should have dip switch 1 on.

yeah theres a cart in ive tried it in alll the different slots , yeah thats how all my dips are pretty much

Did you try cleaning the slots? Are you completely sure the MVS cart works?

Maybe not, but one broken slot could render all of them non-working in exactly the same way if there's a short on one of the shared buses. Also, I would check that your power supply, including wires to your harness, is adequate and look to make sure that no electrolytic (canister-style) capacitors on the board are leaking or otherwise damaged. Power distribution issues tend to be the cause of hair-pulling types of flakiness such as what you describe.

those things can get damn dirty. also, check the connection between the top and bottom boards, if that's bad/lose/dirty/damaged, it'll act like no cart is in.
