Quoted from snaroff:Took delivery of a Munsters Pro on 2/21. Game has less than 50 plays and have had the following weirdly intermittent issues.
- On 2/24, the game went catatonic during attract mode. LCD was displaying images, but the PF was dark. The start button didn't work. When I power cycled the game the message below was displayed during boot. Game was in the same state...LCD working, PF dark. After 10 minutes or so, the game came back to life. Start button worked and game played fine.
- On 2/23, while playing with a few other folks, the game rebooted during gameplay.
- On 2/22, while playing alone, the flipper went limp during a multi-ball with balls still in play. PF also went dark.
I've become accustomed to NIB "dialing in", however I've never experienced a NIB game this flakey from Stern. Intermittent issues are a real pain to diagnose. I have to imagine all of these are somehow related.
Any ideas? Do you think it could be a flakey power supply? Anyone else experience any of these issues?[quoted image]
First, I would contact Stern and then your distro. (I am sure you would have done this already). With your machine off, I would remove and re seat all your cableing throughout the back box (power supply) and then the rest of the machine. You cannot do much more than that until you speak with Stern. If it is not a loose cable (power to the node boards or loose earth), sounds like a power supply issues but could also be CPU and/or node board related.
I had a message similar to that but I had forgotten to re connect the power supply to the cabinet node board. I put the cable back on, restarted the machine and away it went. No issues since.
I am sure that Stern will look after you. Please post their response.
This can be a frustrating hobby.. New game and it does not work. We have had that happen a few times.
Best of Luck.
