We were playing a game then the LCD display froze and we could still hear the audio playing tho. We reset the table and after that no lights on the table at all not even the optos.. i can see theres power to the cpu node board and backbox power relay(?)
on the cpu board i can see the status like flashing two flashes slight pause then two flashes...just repeats

I recorded little video to show.

I'm good with minor things but I'm not sure how to approach this..

Should i just reach out to stern directly or contact reseller?
Any advice would be appreciated

Quoted from Mad_Dog_Coin_Op:

Turn off the game then remove and reinstall the SD card. It that doesn’t work contact Stern.

ok will do thanks for the tip

Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:

I would reach out to Stern at [email protected]
Point out to them that https://sternpinball.com/support/ has no schematic for your Elvira's House of Horrors (Premium Edition) SPIKE CPU Node 509-1003-01
and the SPIKE system manual at https://sternpinball.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/SPIKE-System-Manual.pdf doesn't indicate what the flash codes mean either.
It's worth flashing a new SD card. Cross your fingers that is the issue.

thankyou very much for the insight and links

Quoted from kidAtHeart:

I burned a backup SD and tested it yesterday on my Elvira, booted up fine. Put it in a ziploc bag in the goodie bag. As mentioned, I'd try burning one. It's easy.

and ya if this works I'm probably gonna do two just to have a backup,

Hello sorry for the delayed response, I ended up ordering two 16gig cards from amazon and used card reader on work laptop to write them on the weekend.
I can say this was the issue once i put in new card it fired up with latest code.

Thanks again for all the advice, Feels like a spare might be a good idea for the swag bag in all new orders honestly.
