I have an AC/DC Premium, and about a couple of months ago I noticed after the ball drained and the machine was tallying up the totals the lights at (AXE) (TNT) (ROCK) (FIRE) and (AC/DC) would flash. Now not only does that happen, but now the general illumination lights are constantly flickering. I ran a diagnostic on all the lights and according to the tests everything is fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem with my AC/DC premium. No errors. Reseated all connectors but issue still there.

OK, Simple fix. Some of the GI lights came loose, I reseated them and everything works fine.

The issue can also be the bridge that is in the backbox. I have bought replacement bridges and it took away the flickering. I'll post a pic in the next post.

Sometimes you can try reseating the plugs attached to this bridge. Eventually I just replaced it and bought a few spares to have for future use.

This fixes the GI flickering not the insert issue.

Wouldn't happen to know the part number would you? Where did you get your spares? Thanks

Id have to check inside my machine to see which one I bought.....Not sure off hand but I think its the 2nd one.

Pretty sure these are the ones I bought.

Necro’d this thread to say thank you! This saved me a ton of troubleshooting, reseated the connectors to the bridge and BOOM all good!
