Hi guys, you may have seen my last thread where I got myself my first fruity, a 95 jpm rollercoaster.

I sorted out a few dead bulbs and it has been working fine, I turned it on, had a little play on demo mode, turned my back for 5 minutes and the alarm went off, nothing showing on the display and no lights on.

Switched it off and on and the alarm went off again.

Now nothing, just a random pop from the speaker like its stuck in a boot loop

Main board led not lit

Any clues ?

How strange, I pulled the power lead off the main board, refitted and it powered up. Worked for a little while and then the alarm went off again and its now dead again

Any ideas?

Found a rusty earth lead attached very loose to the power supply, cleaned it up and fitted it tight. Appears fixed now.

Maybe I should pull the earth off and see if the fault returns then I will know for sure if that was the problem

Finally got round to filling it up with coins and its so much more fun than playing the emulated version. My 8 year old managed to get 2 repeats on test your strength. He was a bit gutted when I didn't let him keep the £30 he won though haha
