Quoted from TimC:

Another thing I should mention, when it started failing it would say finish ball 2, but when it kicked ball 3 the backboard would go off "2" but not light "3". I'd turn it off and on, start a new game and it would work fine. Then after this happening a few times, one time I started a game and it just started racking up points without even plunging. Turned the machine off and back on, and that's when it stopped resetting entirely.

That sounds like a playfield switch is making contact when it should not be.

Quoted from TimC:

That's what I thought, but would that keep it from starting a new game?

I'm not sure why it would, but for now I would manually press the start relay and get it through its start sequence. Then when it starts scoring points, I would find which switches award that point increment and check them all to figure out which is stuck on. If that solves the start problem, then great.

If not, I would check the switches on your replay unit (assuming you have checked and confirmed that you have credits on the wheel) there are switches there that if they are not making contact it will not allow you to begin a game.
