I just got a super nice clear coated Congo this week. Only problem is I noticed it started to reset every few games. I reseated all the cables, and I added a spare WPC Power Fix daughterboard. And I was still getting resets.

Then I narrowed down that they weren't random at all. It was only happening on games where my score was higher than around 800,000,000. And that it was happening 9/10 during the end of ball/New Ball cycle.

Any idea what would cause this? I have no idea. Previous owner said this wasn't happening to him at his house. I would guess that its something cause by either the new environment or the trip from his place to mine.

The plot thickens! I hit the factory reset and the problem seems to have gone away for now. But why would THAT have solved the problem? Im skeptical the problem is fixed, but instead that the reset has covered up whatever is triggering the reset. Anybody have any guesses?

Perhaps the audits got set in a way that confused the computer to trigger a reset. Something to do with credits, high scores, default high scores, etc.... Factory settings is a good non invasive thing to try for an issue like that.
