I have a Capcom flipper football that has worked great until recently. Now it will reset randomly. It will do this in the middle of a game and also in attract mode. Sometimes it will be right away within a few seconds of bootup and sometimes it can be up to 5 minutes or so. What will happen is when playing the screen will flash and all will go dark (all lights shut off) then it will reboot and come back.

I have used different outlets as I heard it could be the power fluxes, but I feel I ruled it out as I have other pinballs in outlets and work fine. This has worked fine for over a year or so.

I am thinking it could be a capacitor or something with board but not sure. Any body could help I would love to get this back up and working.

Thanks in advance for any and all help with this.

Problem solved, or at least for several hours it's been working without a reset. There are 6 big capacitors and 3 bridge rectifiers on the power board. I reflowed the soldier joints on all of them and the game has been solid since.
