Well here is the deal. Instead of B A L L Y lit in the pacmaze during attract mode i get A L.
also no red pac maze lights, no GI lights and also no expanded Solenoids work (the same beginning 12 will just repeat fire). Other than than i am golden. it sounds like a lot but i believe it is all tied together and it maybe easy for someone if they have seen this before.
when i first got the machine only the memory drops and such would fire the expander was always on. Also some red pacmaze lamps were locked on. Well i found out if you simply took the AUX lamp driver board out of the picture well all main game solenoids worked. It wasn't till later that i also found a lamp cord hack from the GI bus wire to a connector wire on the transformer power board. Well removing this and no GI. Well the hack shouldn't be there of coarse but also found that the GI are controlled by the lamp flasher board which is controlled by the A9 aux lamp board.
So that board seemed to be the main culprit of all that is evil. Well i have replaced all 5 ic(s) on that board and did a bunch of continuity checks like all the inputs to the A9 board. A bunch come from the standard lamp driver and one from the CPU.
But now i am starting to feel like maybe i am missing something fairly simple. Any thoughts?
Please help!
