Guardians of the Galaxy (Pro) Stern, 2017

Recently guardians of the galaxy has been resetting mid game.. I've also noticed that it takes several minutes for it to boot up, much longer than the other spike games (or any game) I have. I think I've noticed a pattern when the game has been on for several hours and this occurring.

While the game is booting up, all the voltage LED's on the cpu are lit except for VA and VNB (audio and node board voltage), then usually after a few minutes those light up.

Given how expensive replacement parts are for power supplies, power drive boards etc. I would rather ID the problem vs. gamble on a replacement. Any ideas?

Reflash your SD card with an image directly from Stern. Sometimes the software develops a glitch that may be causing your issue. On my guardians, I have the Cleland sound software installed and twice now it fails to boot. Takes about 6 months and no rhyme or reason to it. I’ll have the game on while having a party and it will play perfect. Next day, after 6 months of perfection, I’ll turn it on and it won’t boot at all. The lights on the board light up just fine, but refuses to go into boot sequence. As soon as I reflash my SD card, everything works perfectly fine just as before. Typical Stern spike issues.
Hope this helps. Has always worked for me

That would seem to make sense, I have the Cleland sound software also. I'm bummed to have to reflash with an image direct form Stern, because people really like the music and sounds. I'll give it a try and report back.
