At power-on there is nothing on the display, the game doesn't boot and the flippers are locked up.

Cause: A poor contact in the ribbon cables between the boards.
Checks
- Check the logic voltages first.
- Reseat each ribbon cable before suspecting the Fliptronic or driver board.
Fix
- Power off and reseat all the ribbon cables; replace any with worn or damaged connectors.
