All games have soft spots. On DE games the typical stuff is battery corrosion, bad fuse clips (easy to test with the finger pressure test) on the power supply/ppb/flipper boards, and 100mfd/330mfd caps leaking on the power supply board which causes the game to either not work, or the caps leak on the HV section and it starts on fire! ha! Also GI connector burn on the power supply and PPB board. Those are unique problems to Dataeast pinballs.

PPB is the "popcorn popper" board. seriously that was what DE called it, at least internally. it's the lower center board (the lower right board being the sound board.) GI connectors burn because like williams, DE pushed the number of light bulbs in the game right to the edge of what the connectors could handle (amp draw-wise.) So over time they just burn.

If you tackle the list i posted, probably won't have to deal with it ever again. and if you go to LED lights for the GI (general illumination), you'll never burn another GI connector.
