Baywatch assistance requested!!!
I have a Baywatch and half of the backbox lights (right side, facing game) are out, and all of the feature lights, except for the independently controlled Lite Shark and Lite Orbit lights. GI lights working. We checked the fuses, and reset all of the edge connectors (even though we didn’t know which one was associated with the problem we had). There are no broken lights. Can some please provide some insight - and I acknowledge there may be two different independent problems I have to work. This is an absolutely beautiful, very low use HUO game (278 plays) - all original including the batteries (not corroded, and will be replaced) and original non-LED lights. Thank you for your help!

Thank you all that responded.

The J5 on the Printed Power Board did have a burnt connector, just as Chad said to look for. In fact, the edge connector pulled the straight pin out of the circuit board when we disconnected the connector. Not pretty. Do you have recommendations for the repair? I really haven't done anything like this before, but am willing to try.

Again, thanks for all who responded!

I've got the board out, and the pictures show the damage. If I were to try this myself, would you suggest removing the entire receptacle from the back of the circuit board? Do I replace the entire Molex (or just cut the Molex and add a new two-pin part Molex)? How do you remove the melted plastic from the top surface of the circuit board? Do you see any damage to the traces?

Again, you guys are great! Thanks for getting me this far!
