The problem I had was when I played and hit a payout ( credit pay ) it would stop then start the payout again but this happened every once in awhile. I changed my game chip and noticed the SP chip was not all the way in..When I pushed the SP chip in everything started to work like it should...Just wondering if that SP chip is not all the way in or loose  would that cause this? Hope this makes sense.

Are you talking about the hopper "paying out"?
Is it spitting out coins intermittently?

No it's  when you're playing it will stop then start again...I spin the reels then it stops then starts..Could a bad ground wire cause this??

Did you check the pins on your SS "reel" chip?

Yes the reel chip is seated fine, I have it for credit collect only...When I tightened the ground wire it seemed to work just fine....Just wondering if there is any other things to check? I have just a little knowledge on these machines, but could use a lot of help.....Thanks

Display goes off? Sounds like some kind of a short to me.  Have you taken out the power supply and looked inside it for coins or other loose metallic object inside?  All power supplies I have disassembled have had some sort of coin or objects inside. Might be worth a look inside for you.

There's a possibility of that, but if it happens with enough frequency, you begin to get 41,42, or 43 errors, at least that's been my experience.  One time I opened the door while the game was playing and got a 41 error that was near impossible to clear.  I had to use a ram clear chip to get the game working again.
Do you have a spare power supply you could try?  Do the lights (Flourescent) go off too, or just the LED display?

I bet it's a power problem...if you open the door and close the door during a game, the game will not just continue on - it would error.  BUT, if you un-plug the power from the machine and plug it back in - the game would continue.  But you mention your fluorescent lights stay on.  I bet it's the power cable from the power supply to the motherboard.  This cable is a common problem - and I bet yours is working most of the time.  Check out the link to the post below - it tells you what to look for...

Dan #2 beat me to it -- I agree 100% -- it's a seemingly common problem and the symptoms match (that the game will restart as if nothing was wrong).  If you can replace the cable that he posted a picture of, I'd bet that your problem would go away.

Keep your fingers crossed though...once it starts acting like that, it will only happen again.
What is going on I think is that the molex for the motherboard is going bad.
The pins are starting to oxidize - giving you intermittent power.
It's best to make another power connector or buy a good used one.
If you give me a day, I can give you all the details on how to
make your own connector and it'll be like brand new!

Mark will also vouch (I hope) that DeOxit by Caig Labs sprayed into the connector may eat up the oxidation. I think Rat Shack sold it at one time.

yes,
but because of the high heat caused from the arcing inside the molex
(That's why they turn brownish color)
the tensile spring strength of the receptor pins are not the same as new ones
which "bite/grab" the motherboard pins better...
