I have a JPLE on location.
It has been not starting randomly lately.
Games are all left on and turned off and on with a breaker.

If I power cycle the switch it will turn on.

What should I be looking for first.
I'm no good with a tester either.
Just a heads up on that.

I have a spare Power distribution board for a GOTLE, but not sure if they are interchangeable. Number is off by a couple of digits.

Quoted from barakandl:

I have an avengers doing something similar. One out of ten boot ups it is just dead. Just the red power indication LEDs glow and nothing else. Power cycle again and it always comes up on the 2nd try.
I have not tried to fix it yet, but first hunch is to try a new SD card.

Why would a SD card cause the issues though.

Quoted from phishrace:

How many games on that breaker? How many amps is that breaker rated at? Is the game plugged into a power strip or extension cord? If yes, get rid of them and see if the issue stays. If you have to use an extension cord, keep it short as possible and make sure it's at least 16 gauge.
You can safely test the wall voltage using a Kill a Watt. Available on Amazon or Harbor Freight, if you folks have them up there.

Only two games on this breaker, commercial use.
Put in specifically for us to run 4 games per breaker.
I am plugged in direct to the wall, no power strips or extension cords.

New SD card seems to have fixed the issue

Thanks barakandl

Totally forgot I had a power issue with GOTLE years ago.
Game would not boot up.
It was the SD card then too.
