Get a small battery such as a pp3 and just tap the connection to speaker,if the speaker makes a noise then its ok.If machine works ok then its either the roms or the sound card itself.Buy one from ebay and im sure someone can supply a set of roms cheap

yes,scorpion is bellfruit,been a long time since ive seen one but normally the sound board is plugged into the main mpu.have a look where the speaker wires plug in,it might even be part of the mpu,i cant remember.The roms or(read only memory) are black chips with 32 legs,normally marked with stickers.These hold the game audio and the game play itself.eproms are eraseable programmable read only memory and the stickers once programmed are stuck over a window where the chip is situated,uv light will erase the program installed,so are re useable,but dont expose them to sunlight as the uv in that can damage them.

All you can do is get a known working unit and fit in your machine.If it still dont work try something else.Or try your board in a working machine.Its the only way,process of elimination.The problem with cheap machines is once you have them working they are often not cheap anymore.

Not sure but the sound card normally plugs into the main mpu.I think scorp 2 boards have a couple of either black or white sockets about 5 inch long on the mpu where it would plug in.
