Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

My mp-7 rom which i have had in the machine and working perfectly would now will not show since i tried to install the xlead. Its not even in there anymore and the mp-7 rom still will not show up. It has to be the board everything else works it triggers midi , the lights all work , the ram test was fine , the fx is good the only thing wrong is the unit will not read roms. I dont know how this could of happened by just inserting then taking out the xlead. I want to try to get this figured out before i ship it off for a 75 benchfee just to look at. I iwsh i had another unit so i could check the roms but i dont even know anyone around here with a rack. The manual offers no info and i could not find anything on the web i have been digging for hours.
