Just got my hands on an Alvin G Mystery Castle and I'm noticing that the display occasionally displays "Please Wait" at seemingly random times but mostly during gameplay.

I once got the ball stuck up at the top of the ramp and the display mentioned something about a lamp or flasher column being shorted but it was extremely brief and went away before I could snap a picture. Haven't seen it since, but I'll try and record it if I can.

I was told that it might be a power supply board problem, but I honestly don't know where to start as this is my first Alvin G game (mostly used to B/W titles).

I'm going to start by reseating the connectors going to the display, but other than that I'm not sure where to start looking. Hope it's not a board issue.
