Hey All,

I have an F-14 Tomcat that has been working perfectly. Well the other day when I started it, and same again today, I'm having problems. Was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

Symptoms:
Starts up and gives the beep indicating successful boot
The light show under the playfield inserts is basically frozen with some lit, and some not
The display has some letters working, some not, some flickering
If I restart a few times, it eventually starts the lights and the display starts working.
It's like it needs to warm up or something.

Does anyone know what can cause these problems to start happening all at the same time?

Thanks!
Kyle

I've also discovered that once everything is working, turning it off and back on again, everything works fine. But after it's been off for a while, the problems come back. One other thing I found out that if I start it up and it has the problems, if I leave it on long enough, everything slowly begins working again but slowly. After a few more minutes the lights are all flashing smooth and quick like they should, and the display begins to start working. It's like it has to warm up or something, and I've never had this problem before.
