Howdy folks...

I have the flashing lights / Japanese lady screaming alert on startup issue. Just got the machine today. I've read some of the other similar threads and most seem to have been fixed by fully depressing the door closed switch. Well... I've tried that. And I've reset a few hundred times. Everything else seems OK. I've been into fever and mission mode so far. Just no lights... no countdown 7 seg displays in mission mode, etc.

Are there other switches I need to be checking? I have noticed that there is a green wire in the lower door that's no longer screwed down (looks like a ground wire to me). And a similar green wire in the upper right (facing the back) of the unit (another ground?) that is actually cut off.

No errors are showing in the error display in back, though it rolls from 1 to 7 to - on startup.

I'd appreciate much help. Really don't want to go thru the hassle of returning the thing just for this.
