I was playing a game on my Metallica LE when all the GI lights went out, no pop, or loud noise. I thought they just went out for a mode, but never came back on. I have checked all the fuses F1-F4. I took them off individually and they all tested good. I get all red LED on the board which should mean that all fuses are OK. F1-F13. I took of the connector to the left (J15?) with the green/white-green and tested the plug. I get 5.5v out of it and at the connector below the playfield. It seems to go to the coin door and that is working. I tested a different bulb to make sure all my GI lights weren't fried. The good bulb does not work either so I am losing power to the playfield for all my GI somewhere. Everything looks good, but obviously it itsn't. I have no more ideas after several hours of searching. Any ideas/help??? Thanks in advance...

thanks. tried reseating cat5/6 cable but still not working. called Stern tech support. they want me to take off the LED board and try it in a friends game. luckily i have a friend close by and can try tomorrow.

called Stern tech. they had me try my LED board on a friends game and my board is found to be the culpriut. Going to try and call Stern for a replacement. I'm a few weeks out of warranty (12 months). Hopefully they can replace it and I won't have to pay for a new board ($120-$150).

Yay. Stern is sending me a replacement even though I'm a few weeks past my 12 month warranty! Thank you Stern!
