I picked up a JD for my wife's birthday a few months ago and it is acting up. For some reason the whole machine resets to French everyonce in awhile, and when I change it back to English the boot up screens are still in French. The LED panel is beginning to go out too I thin as waves of halflit LEDs roll across it. Any sugestions?
 
Did you replace the batteries? Try reseating the DMD cable

When it resets to French does this happen with the game on or off?
If it happens when it's on then no need to start replacing batteries. Did this game by chance happen to be a reimport AND/OR did it having battery acid damage on the MPU?

If it happens when it is off, pull the batteries and use a DMM to check voltage on them. If the batteries are out putting correctly your battery holder may be at fault here. Ensure the battery holder terminals are clean and in good shape.

Lastly - pull the CPU out of it and reseat it. Might consider pulling the other chips on the MPU and cleaning the legs and inspect the sockets as well.
 
Besides being sure the batteries are good, battery holder good and power getting to the cpu.

On your cpu will wither be a row of jumpers or switches. Check your manual and set to desired default language.
