    Default Star Wars / Lumina not booting but no error codes

    This game was working fine a couple of months ago. Not moved, powered off, not used and today it won't boot. No errors codes, all LEDs in the fuse area are lit. Does anyone have any advice? Video of what it's doing is below.

    Hi Chad, I have had this happen a few times when rebooting too soon after the initial powerup cycle. For mine and many others (but not all) with this cell we need to run the power for 10 minutes and then turn the power off and right back on again. Your video is of how mine is after first powering up. At times I have restarted it too soon or paused too long between the off and on, then I had the same blank screen. Repeating this process took care of it.

    If this wasn't typical of your machine then perhaps something loosened just enough from the last playtime months ago to affect it now. Maybe check and re-seat the cables in back. Won't hurt to try

    Star Wars needs to have a really good transformer too.

    Some Sankyos from around this time do this. Especially if its cold. One of mine needs about half an hour to warm up in winter. In the summer, it boots up fine

    there are lots of threads / posts regarding the Star Wars start up issue, it seems to be the usual thing with this model.

    My own was the exception and for many years it behaved, but a few years back it also developed the start up problem. I just leave it switched on for a while to warm up and then switch off and back on again.

    I'll give that a shot and report back. Thanks, guys, I appreciate the help. I've never seen this before but I haven't owned it long. Maybe a year and it only gets occasional use.
