Most lamps flash randomly when they shouldn't - Bally WPC-95

Our NBA Fastbreak table started flashing all the lamps when it shouldn't be a few days ago, out of the blue. We see it in attract mode with only the start button flashing or staying on for a few seconds randomly when there are no credits. During game play, there are all sorts of combinations of flashing, where a number of lamps will turn on at the same time when they shouldn't. Just about all the bulbs are involved, but they don't all follow the same pattern. For example the extra ball and a couple other lights flash randomly throughout gameplay, even if no extra ball is earned. It's not always the same other couple lights, though, and it's not always extra ball.

I haven't been able to find anything covering this in the forum, but I may not be using the same words to describe it. Any ideas?

Had something similar happen on my old WCS. Check to see if any of your slow burn fuses are partially burnt.

Could be a loose/failing data cable or a loose ASIC...either of these things can cause strange behavior.

It was a loose data cable. Thanks!!
