First, figure out where all the wires on your connector #6 go.

It looks like the red wire is the one that melted - look closely at every component (switch, coil, lamp, circuit board) that wire feeds or is fed from.

Next thing to do is verify all your fuses are of the correct value. That thing burned for quite awhile.

Plan on replacing that connector and the pins in the connector AND the ones that the connector connects to.

From the snippet of the schematic, I can’t tell if the red wire is attached to the lamp matrix.

Work one problem at a time. Find the short first, repair it, verify fuses are correct, then look for lamp issues.

Others will chime in with advice, chose what you’re the most comfortable with and let us know progress.

What’s the history before discovering the burnt connector? Was it working fine, and just quit? Or was any maintenance done previous to the column/row issue?

Hard to tell from pic, but looks like the color code wires don’t match up on either side of the connector. Red-violet and red-black(blue)? General rule of thumb from my own experience, is the manufacturer tries to stay with the same wire color, from connector at board, all the way to the last light/feature it’s intended for.

Has the connector been re-pinned recently, or other maintenance that would involve having to undo connectors in that area?

To me, looks like it laid against something else, and connector melted. But that’s from what I can view in the pic.

To your question, yes, the wires will start from the J connector on the Power Driver Board. Row will start at connector J-134, column will start at J-137(8). Wires will daisy chain from board to components.

I would like to verify your picture above though, get better pic or just verify it. Are the wire colors going through that connector: yellow-black, red-violet, red-black(blue)? Just asking, as it may be wise to follow those wires from board to ending feature.

So to your example, the yellow-brown wire will go: J-137/8 > Left rollover > Middle Rollover > Right Rollover > Magnum Jets > ect... and ends at Playfield Promo.

Red-brown wire would go: J-133/4 > Left Rollover > Right Ramp Badge > Barroom Brawl > Safehouse Badge > ect... and ends at Silver Bullet.

The Qxx(Q98) is the transistor on the Power Driver Board, that is inline with the J connector wires mentioned. Usually they are very close to the area of the J connectors listed.

Before thinking about any of that, share the history of the pin, before this issue came up.
-Was it working fine before, and now not working?
-Did anyone else do any maintenance on it recently?
-Or has it not been working the entire time in your possession?

Need a better backstory of how the machine got to this point, of a column and row of lights being out.

There are some known misprints in manuals, I am not sure if this game is one of them.

Worst case(with machine powered off), you can try plugging them onto the board spots per the manual, and turn it on. Just in case, be prepared to shut it off right away.

There’s a chance they were plugged onto the wrong J spots at the board previously. But again, don’t know the backstory, if you or someone else has been working on the game. If so, what was done previous to this issue?

You’ll still want to check that wiring for the row and column. If it did burn any of those, you should replace the pins and any connector that shows wear. If not, you’ll still probably be chasing issues after the board repair.

On the board both pairs are in parallel, so are interchangeable. ie J137 has the same connections as J138. Use either. Likewise for J134 and J135. Same connections. Use either.

Yes, they are daisy-chained. No, they are not necessarily in that order. The matrix is not to show order of lights, but to shows connections. Indeed, occasionally the lights may be in the correct order but this is not intended. If you wish to find the order, physically follow each coloured wire.
