Need more info. What is the condition of your connectors to the CPU, driver and power supply boards? Always check them first. Anything odd in the test modes?

checking around I see any hits on targets etc won't register.
The display stays fine-ie showing whatever the current score is.
If machine is turned off,then back on all will be fine.It may be fine
for one game,maybe 10 even,it just happens randomly.
Wondering maybe cpu is hanging??Or something else I could look for?
I have original power and driver boards,and a Ni-wumpf cpu board.
Only started happening yesterday
