During game play he get all the time " SYSTEM VERSION 451/000 RELEASE
A4.00 "

the scoring disappears and that comes in place machine continue to play
normally ' from time to time score or animations appears briefly.

said display version and graphic call #2 or something like that would flash
and some other stuff, game would play but display all messed up cause early
test version.

He needs to do the power supply update/fix for the large display that
should take care of the problem.

I would look for a poor connection to
the display. I *think* that comes up
when the display "boots". I don't currently
have a big display game in the house to double
check. It may be losing power momentarily.

Typical of the big displays if they are not getting absolute 5 volts. Go
to sterns site and download the service bulletin for the big display
power wiring update and build a new harness. Without it the display will
intermittently reset itself. Keep in mind the big displays ran there own
dedicated cpu, independant of the game cpu so the game will keep playing
normally even when the display resets.

Leon,

I had the exact same problem on a Maverick that I owned. It is a power
issue. The display keeps rebooting. You can either make your own fix
using the technical service bulletin #106 that Stern has on their
website or you can buy the fix from Marco. I bought the fix and it
worked great.

Call Stern at 1-800-542-5377 and they will refer you to the correct
technical document on this fix. What you're seeing is the display
board constantly rebooting because of a voltage problem.
