Having troubles with my Stern Nugent game is basically not booting. Only thing that is working is the top GI. Boards are all good as i had them sent out and gone over i checked all the fuses they are all good. Just want to see if anyone has a suggestion so me and my Dad have a starting point at least thanks.

Are you getting any LED flashes on the MPU? Have you checked the voltages on the rectifier board?

Offhand I think fuse F4 on the rectifier board controls gi. A fuse may look good but have blown. Take all the fuses out of the rectifier board and test them. Check the fuse clips for corrosion. Most people replace the rectifier board on early Stern and Ballys as its only $55-60.

Is there a fuse under the playfield. Some early solid state titles have a fuse under the playfield that controls flippers, gi, etc. I have a Nugent, but it’s in storage.
