    I have everything working on a granny and the gators, except for one issue. The game will only boot when it's warmed up. I have to leave it on a dead boot for about 3-5 minutes, and then it always will boot up as normal like nothing is wrong, and it plays without issue.

    I replaced the 2 capacitors on the vidiot, I also tried a different driver board that is good. Reflowed solder on the vidiot board connectors. What else could there be?

    Thanks, James

    Tried swapping rectifier boards, no change. Tried different mpus for the hell of it, no change...
    really only leaves the Vidiot, but what could be needed to warm up on it ... hmmm

    What does the test point voltages look like on a cold boot vs warm?
