    Quoted from jmiller1976:

    Hey Guys - So I replaced the pins and re-did all of the wires going into the J115 slot and have lost additional lighting on the back glass and on some of the play field. Below are pictures that show what is not working. I can get half of the back glass lighting to come on when I unplug the connector but only briefly. Any thoughts one where I should start looking or testing? Thanks!

    Am I seeing this correctly? It looks like you have spliced and shrink-tubed a whole lot of wires. I assume that under the shrink tube you have solder joints? Yes? No?

    If this is all of the work that you have done, just this connector and nothing more, and you lost half of your lights then it has to be something you did incorrectly.

    If what I just said above is correct then you need to check continuity of all of your solder joints. They may have looked good when you covered them with shrink tube but looks can be deceiving.

    Have you had any luck with the continuity check?
