Game has to see all the trough switches too. And I'm pretty sure Creature is WPC not that it matters.
It's possible the start button wire is getting pinched when you close the coin door to start a game. Do a switch test and test both with the door open and closed.
SO i thank everyone for their advise unfortunelty none of this worked I ordered a new MPU board as i am very fearful this is the issue. I accidentally seated the connector that has the wires of the start button off by one and i was able to start the game, when reseating it properly went back to its old ways i am going to try the new board and see if thats the issue (same cost as my local tech service call) and i will advise further
Thx

I would suspect a power / connectivity issue before an mpu issue, especially with no lights or display, and double especially when you say there was a difference when you offset a connector.
I'd start by checking to see if the other side of that connector is also off position.
Then I'd unseat and reseat all connectors on the power board and mpu, inspecting for loose wires and shorts.
Then I'd go through the test points and check voltages.
