Ok, I always wind up scratching my head with faults that are intermittent. During game play, Dr Who will seam fine for a while, then all of a sudden some of the lamps become overly bright, the DMD appears distorted and too bright, and a flipper becomes locked on while the other is nonresponsive...prompting me to quickly power off the machine. Once powered back on, the machine seams fine for a while, and then repeats the odd behavior...but not always the same flipper will be locked on or same set of lamps overly bright. I'm wondering if an intermittent voltage drop/spike could be the culprit. Any suggestions on how to find the root cause? Thanks!

Thanks; all kinds of weird behavior occurred on my first attempt at reseating the ribbon cables...after a couple of tries things appear relatively stable for the moment and no intermittent fault so far.

Ok - the above seamed to work for quite a few games and then the odd intermittent behavior sadly returned. I'm thinking it probably makes sense to replace the offending cable. Does anyone have a recommendation or favorite source on where to get replacement cables? Thanks.

Thanks - I've ordered from Ed at GPE but didn't realize he also carried cables.
