MM Cabinet Switch Complete - Lower Playfield does not Lite

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

I am now out of the moldy cabinet into a BTC (Great Cabinet Chris).
Everything is working except the Lower Playfield does not light. I
checked the connectors in the head and everything seems on tight.
Suggestions?

Should be easy to sort out. Start at the board in the head. Correct
voltage - power leaving the board ? If so, with your meter follow it along
until you figure where it stops. You could have missed a connector, broken
wire, things like that. Be sure your ribbon cables are red stripe pin one on
each end. LTG

When you say "Lower Playfield does not light", what do you mean?

GIs?

Feature lights?

If it is GIs, start by checking the fuse.

Its the bottom playfield GI. I changed fuses with not result. The
connector seems on tight.

Make sure that your wire connections in the GI plugs are making good
contact, they can become loose or be slightly pulled out. Also make sure
there are no cold solder joints or broken traces on the board behind the GI
connectors. Otherwise you need to get out your DMM and track current.

Ceegary - Genius. Thanks alot. The wire on the connector was slightly
out. I never would have thought to look there. Pushed it into the
connector hard, and lights came on.
