Okay I just finished up a major GI overhaul on my Party Zone and am having some interesting problems. I replaced J115, J120, and J121 and plugged the board back up. On a standard outlet in my house the MPU (I think that's what it's called. Whatever is responsible for stuff besides basic power) will come on after a couple seconds and reset after a couple seconds and the process repeats and I never can get the game into attract mode. On a higher voltage outlet for my computers I can get the game to boot into attract mode fine and my general illumination is fixed, but when I start a game or run a solenoid test the machine restarts. I'm stumped on this one. Why would my general illumination fix be causing the the game to reset when the solenoids are supposed to fire? When I unplug the GI power connector J115 on the board, I have no GI but my game works just fine...Thanks!

Okay I'll check that out thanks. Would that theory still hold if it works fine until I plug up my j115 for the general illumination? Seems like something has changed now that my gi is wired up...
