#Creature From the Black Lagoon. #CFTBL Need some assistance in troubleshooting my Gill-Man machine. Machine powers up, and DMD displays the following error message:

Check Fuse FL14 and FL15.

Opened up the backglass and removed these two fuses from the Power Driver board and checked them with the trusty multimeter. Both have continuity and are not blown. Looking at the manual, it appears FL14 is the +18V Lamp Matrix, while FL15 is the +12 VDC switch matrix. The machine will not start a game, feed a ball, etc.

Not certain what steps to take next in terms of troubleshooting the machine.

Suggestions much appreciated. I'm in Alabaster, Alabama near Birmingham.

TECH: We decided to replace the last stock board in our CFTBL with a brand new Rottendog A12697-1 MPU. We also replaced the back-up batteries, and did a factory reset on the game. Fired it back up, and now the game will not start. It's set up for free play, and nothing obvious is wrong. Game seems otherwise normal...but the start button doesn't light, and pressing it has no effect. Tried manually adding credits to the game (just in case.) No joy.

I'm not even sure how to begin troubleshooting this problem. Checked all the connectors and reseated them again. Still no job. Any suggestions?
