    Default HELP!! Sakura looks dead...

    Hi, all! I have a Sakura machine (my fave) that I play infrequently, but always has been fine. Today I turned it on to play, and... no sound, no display (though the backlight seems to light up) - nothing. One of the cherry blossom branches twitches like usual when you power up, but that's it. There are a bunch of red LEDs lit up on the back. Can anyone help with this? I'm a total neophyte technically with these machines...

    Thanks in advance!

    Clear pics of the led's lit up on the back, showing their labeling if you can. Could just be a blown fuse.

    Thanks for the quick reply! This is the best I could do without disassembly. Hope it helps...

    Your numeric LED (the one with the '-' lit in the last pic) says there's no errors.

    Are there any unlit LED's in the box to the right in the third pic? If so, then a fuse may be blown, if not, have you tried a hard reset? There should be a button somewhere on the power supply (the box to the right in the third pic). Turn the machine off, press this button and hold it and turn the machine back on. Hold it for 4-5 seconds and release.

    All LEDs on the right are lit. Don't know if this is normal, but the top one (marked "32V") goes out very slowly when the machine is shut off...
    Tried the hard reset, no change. I'm getting worried... ;-)

    Thanks so much for your ideas, by the way!

    Does the shooter still work?? Does anything happen when you put a ball in a pocket??

    Have you tried leaving it on for a while then switching it off and back on again??

    Didn't think to try any of that. ;-) Shooter does work, no payoff when a ball hits the pocket. I'm leaving it on for a while now, will turn it off in a bit, retry, and let you know the outcome...

    Thank you!

    SUCCESS!!!
    Looks like a combination of advice did it. Left it on for about 1/2 hour, shut it off, turned it back on - no joy. Shut it off and did the hard reset from compirate's post, and we're back in business. Thank you all SO much for your help!!
