My daughters small claw machine keeps resetting after being coined up. You can stop a game and maybe even play a few but sooner or later the game will reset, loose all coined up count and do its startup cycle check all over again. Any ideas?

Where are you measuring the voltage? At the power supply? Or on the board? If only at the power supply, then its possible you're getting a massive voltage drop before it hits the board, which makes sense if you're having to jack it all the way up to 6V. Lower it back down to 5.25V while sampling the voltage at the power supply itself, and then check the voltage at the 5.25V "measuring point" on the board.
Some good news. My step dad is good at troubleshooting boards so we looked at it some today and the issue is finally resolved for me (So far anyway. Longer testing is needed). Here is a quick video https://www.fabozzi.net/wp-content/uploads/videos/Talon_Claw_Machine_Reboot_Issue.mp4 and I have put together a long walk through of things I tried on my website https://www.fabozzi.net/talon-claw-machine/ scroll past the pic and click troubleshooting. Part 3 is what did the trick for me. Still new at posting so not sure how this is going to look in the thread but basically... From the upper corner connector where the AC comes into the board heresame problem with these and treasure chest cranes. Even after putting in new power supplies and adjusting the +5 to about 5.35 vdc, they still reset.
the goal would be to bypass the reset circuit somehow so they arent so picky about
the +5 vdc. Anyone have any idea how to do that? its the most common issue with talon and treasure chest cranes that use the same board.
