If this machine is a Bellfruit, QPS or a Mazooma machine the problem lies with the power supply. Very common fault in these type of machines. Best way to fix is to get a new/seconhand power supply.Will cost you around £40-£50. This will more than likely cure the problem.

Might be worth checking the harness from the power supply to MPU also. Sometimes just unplugging and re-seating both plugs may help.

Common fauld definitely the PSU but as Steve says check the loom is securely connected too.
