Star Wars Pachinko won't "boot" after last time used. No video

[rvcullen]

Anyone ever have a problem with a Lumina frame Star Wars that won't start up? Last time I used it , it worked perfectly. Now I just went to use it again and I only get the backlight on the screen and a cycling line across it randomly (like the computer is trying to reset itself every 3 seconds or so). A few cabinet lights come on, but nothing else, and R2D2 starts it's self-test, then resets too.
Anywhere to start in troubleshooting? Wonder if I can start with disconnecting some items one at a time? Power supply transformer tests good, BTW.
I could make a vid if it might help. THX!!

yes it's the 'start up' issue, a common problem that is well documented in the forums here.

in fact my own Star Wars was misbehaving earlier today, usually only takes a short while to warm up but may require you to keep switching it on and off until it fires up completely

Yeah, I was too quick to post, and also saw some of that "cold start" info myself. tested the theory by just using a heatgun on the Samuri IC and it fired right up!!! Thanks guys!!!!
