I have had some previous issues with my Elektra, but I replaced the power board with an Alltek and it seemed everything was fixed.

I was having issues starting a game after the new board went in, and when I removed and popped in the balls repeatedly over time, eventually it started working great. I figured I was having a 'duh' moment and I just forgot to put the balls in when it wasn't working.

But my wife was playing and it stopped starting games again, even with the balls in.

I used the test button on the inside of the door and all the tests seemed to run just fine. I looked around a bit, didn't touch anything, and then my test button just stopped working. It won't go into test mode again... but I think I remember that happening before, and the button started working and running the tests once I let it sit for awhile.

Any ideas what this might be?

Yup, that was it! Thanks so much Cody! I reheated the connectors and it's back in business.

I swear, I would feel guilty if I didn't donate monthly to this site.
