Fruit machine problem

Hi all

I have a Club Viva Mexico machine thats developed a weird problem..When you first switch it on its fine, then after about 10 - 15 mins or so all the lights just go out on the machine. The machine itself still plays fine, ie reels go round, sound is ok, led works fine but just no lights, so you cant see when you have holds or where you are when you get on the middle board etc.

If you switch it off and on again the lights sometimes come back on but again only for a few minutes then go off...anyone any ideas??

Thanks all

Chris

could be a dodgy cap in the psu or even a component in the psu that is overheating and when you turn it off it cools down and it is then ok for a while
