What happens - the problem:
My machine will not boot correct every 5 times or 10 times
Sometimes its the first boot that fails
Sometimes i can switch it on 10 times without a problem and the 11th failed
what happens
A: All flasers are ON
Motor is running
the most coils are ON after a moment the FUSE F1 will blow if condor is closed
as you can see on the video the gamerom itself is running at the eft
Total Minimum about 10 times
So if you start the machine with closed condor and it happens you must change the fuse
B: only 1 time (Sunday) i got a error massage PF not found
i never had this the last 2 days only problem A
What must be done if it happens?
You switch the machine off and on
it will boot FINE
Not necessary to touch a cable or move the pf or cables nothing
just switch off and on
When its booted OK , everything is working perfect in gameplay and also in single test mode
and you can play 30 min or longer without any problems.
you can switch it on and off XX times without a problem and the FAIL again the same problems:
What have we (i and LLoyed) tried until now:
controlled all connectors at the PF boards and backboard
checked every coil if its isolated and all connectors and cables
now led or GI cables are shortcutted (if booted all works fine)
no difference if the PF is open or closed
checked LAN cable and reseated it also swapped the cable to a new one
removed all screws of the big board and shakes it if there is a screw or my be other dirt that makes sometimes a shortcut
nothing found
nothing fixed it
Mirror blades: yes i have it installed, still with the decal on it and there are no cables what could be shortcutted
If you notice the red logo this i just connected with a cable outside of the machine to a PSU has nothing to do with this problem
my logic:
its not a problem of the position of the PF (opened or closed)
not from the cables
its like sometimes the main pcbs at the backbox brings the big pf-pcb at the start in a undefined status and all outputs switch to ON incl. coils ( cannot tell if its all coils)
I have no idea what i can check more i already invested 2 days of work for testing.
the machine itself is in perfect optical condition no scratches and it plays great.
i hope CGC and the engineers have more ideas on monday
VIDEO 1 That whats happen when it booted failed
also 2 pictures of different crashes, it looks like always the same outputs are active (leds)
any ideas are welcome
