Hi all! I need help with my Genie. Several months ago, she played flawless. After some looking and investing, I left her in the corner and played with other machines that I had acquired. Feeling nostalgic, I went to play with the machine today. Lo and behold, she doesn't boot! When the switch is turned on, all the GI lights come on and the both the upper and lower left displays light all elements. The right displays are blank. The credit and and ball in play are only dimly lit. There is a hum from the speaker, so I presume that there is power to it. I checked the basics as far as as reseating the connectors, checking fuses and ground connections, etc. Where do I need to start looking as far as troubleshooting? Thanks for any direction!

First check the +5vdc and -12vdc to the MPU with a volt meter.
The MPU won't boot without the correct voltages.
Are you using the original Gottlieb system 1 MPU power supply and driver board?.
