Ugh! Went to play my new starwars tonight but it would not boot! It worked last night!

All it does is click twice in a row, delay, repeat.

I can enter diags and it says no errors!

Strange. I had to leave my home so I did not do too much more diagnostics.

Any thoughts?

It worked when I got back home. Strange. Will watch and see if it occurs again...
 
Next time it does that, reseat the game connector. I have a Tempest that does that all the time.

Thanks. Can you clarify for me what you mean by "game connector"?

There are two connectors on the main wiring harness inside the cab that plug into the game boards themselves (the stack of three boards inside the metal cage). Just unplug the large and small connector and then replug them in the same orientation. If your boardset has a RFI board on the end of the stack ( a small board that plugs into the main boards and is in turn plugged into the harness) remove it, toss it and plug the harness directly into the board set. The RF boards don't do you any good anymore, and often cause connection issues.
