Try reseating everything, and while you're at it check if the battery is leaking and if there's any goo around the PCB in that area (the battery on a ROM 1 is near where the power supply cable plugs into the motherboard).

@logan48maer Send a PM to @Cory5412, and he can merge the two threads into one for you. Also, check your PMs. Sent you a link to a replacement ROM chip, if it turns out that, yes, it's the ROM that's the issue.

The battery was removed when I got it. The board looks pretty clean from what I can tell, though I'm definitely not an expert.
