TL;DR

JJP CPU board boot failure diagnosis and paperclip jump-start repair tutorial.

Synopsis

Butch Peel from Jersey Jack Pinball provides a detailed technical tutorial on diagnosing and resolving CPU board boot failures in JJP games (Wizard of Oz, Hobbit, Pirates of the Caribbean, Willy Wonka). The video covers symptoms of boot failure, hardware locations across different game configurations, and the paperclip jump-start procedure to simulate a front-panel power switch on commercial off-the-shelf CPU boards that occasionally fail to boot after power loss.
