Most Recent Update:
I discovered that when I hit the start button (which causes it to reset) It seems the two upper flippers are kicking. Didn't notice this 'til tonight.
Connector J101 is a bit toasty but not absolutely shot I don't think; I tried cleaning it up, which had no effect.
Update: The reset seems to be tied to any solenoid firing. What does this tell us?
Process I'm following (Per pin wiki) - what I've tested exactly
Step 1: measure line voltage - voltage at auxiliary power connector is good. Voltages at all test points are within normal tolerances.
Step 2: Examine flipper coil diodes and solder joints - voltage drops across diodes are consistent between the two flippers, and both show the same voltage drop measured at the wire as they do measured on the diode itself.
Step 3: Examine the "cube shaped" molex connector in the cabinet - Disconnected, visually inspected, and reconnected connectors. No visible corrosion or damage; no effect on things.
Step 4: Examine other wiring harnesses and the connectors - Checked voltages at test points. Made sure all connectors in backboard were seated properly. No effect.

Hey guys, I could use a little help.
I got a Judge Dredd pin a week ago. It had occasionally reset itself at random points during gameplay a couple times before today. Now, it's basically resetting every time I try to start a game. I replaced the cord, though the plug-in on the back of the machine may be ever so slightly loose. I'm wondering if the game might have some other issue, though.
I'd had the same thing with my Fish Tales when it first got here, but that went away after a couple days; this has just gotten worse with time.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Collin
