My condolences.

Nobody can help you unless you at least describe the thing and what it's doing right now in more detail. In other words, helping you without more information is also a shot in the dark.

First you need to open it up and find out what's in it.

Is it one of those all-in-one arcade boards or does it have a Windows PC inside that's running an emulator?

What happens when you power it up?
