Asking about a stern meteor, if that helps. Could it be an easy fix?
What you are seeing is the ground illumination. The path the power takes to get to them has the least to go wrong (only 3-4 problems on the early SSs). Everything else goes through circuit boards, bridge rectifiers and such which have numerous failure spots
With any issue like this you would need to check voltage at strategic points and then go from there

Need more info. When you say "light up", do the score displays light up and the machine go into attract mode?
dead battery , turn game on for about 30seconds , not sure if coin door has to be open or not(so leave open). then click your the game off/ on , off/ on. this will by pass a dead battery. game will boot up IF its a battery problem. sometimes you have to repeat steps 2 or 3 times. I hope this helps cheers
