Any help would be appreciated, I have been all around the back box and DMD cables, reseat and cleaned, checked for loose wires under playfield, the blinds seem to be making a noise and DMD comes on then off. What do I check next. The machine was playing well then turned off all summer now this!

F5 on PPB board is blowing, I replaced with 5amp fuse but it blew straight away, what is my next check?
 
Update, up and running again, thanks to Steve in Exeter, 3 capacitors, 1 resistor and a fuse. Excellent work and good price. Thanks Steve, will be around the boneyard soon

No worries Nigel, glad to see an old classic back up and running again.

I definitely recommend folks get the capacitors replaced on these Data East power supply boards if they look original. They are all failing now and causing glitches and power loss on the 5V line to the main CPU board, which then starts shorting drivers and blowing fuses.
