Quoted from athens95:

I am having similar problems on a KISS. Won’t boot with the below message. Have to call stern tomorrow but probably a frikin non repairable node board with these mini surface mounted components. If there is enough demand someone will Re-pop these and sell for $100. I think there are only a handful of different part numbers
[quoted image]

I had to replace the cabinet node board on my KISS Pro. After talking to Stern tech support I learned that the cabinet node board is by far the node board that fails the most. You should be able to do a node board test and see which board is the problem. Main symptom for my game was the start button switch quit working.

Quoted from MrBally:

Think aboot how bad this is for route operators. Machines getting more play than those of a hobbyist/collector and having a node board eat a couple week's worth of the operator's share.
Of course route ops pay somewhat less for their parts.

Yes, not only is there the issue of the cost of the parts, but your game is down and not earning. When I first started to route Spike games I considered keeping a whole node board set on hand until I realized that Stern kept changing the boards from game to game. Might be worthwhile to do it now as long as all the current node boards are backward compatible.

Quoted from Lermods:

Here’s what we know, or at least I know:

I suppose someone could call stern and ask if they have kiss boards in stock and how long they expect to have them. If I have a chance at tpf, I will ask about these unknowns.

FYI, current cabinet node boards work in KISS as I used the latest one when my original cabinet node board failed, they are backward compatible.
