IGT S Power Cycles???

[hornetgod13]

 I have an IGT S red white & blue machine. (see picture). I've got it working (besides some lights). I haven't tried bulbs or starters but, certain I can figure that out. What is frustrating me is it cycles/rebooting intermittiently once or twice every two or three minutes. I checked fuses, pulled, inspected and reseated connectors ensured power cord and source were solid. It will cycle on/off for a split second when it stationary or in play. Could this be the power supply, board, or something else. I've worked on several but, never had one with a cycling power issue. I hope someone out there smarter than me can help. I'll search old threads for help too.

***UPDATE***

After I searched the old threads and thought about it over night, I decided to disconnect the three non operating florescent tube lights, starters, and ballasts to see if that stopped the power cycles/reboots. The issue went away! I plugged them in one at a time until the problem repeated and it appears to be the top ballast/starter/bulb area. I have new bulbs arriving Saturday and I will replace the starters too and go from there. I've also found replacement ballast online for $13.00 if needed. I will give you and update when and if the issue is completely resolved. My hopes are this thread might help someone else in the future.

Given that you have 3 sets with one bad - you can swap the bad with the working one and see if that resolves the problem. No need to wait for the Fedex dude.

***Final Update***

All new lights and starters completely fixed power cycles. I hope this may help others.
