I've been working my way through this BOP machine and have been able to tackle most of the problems, however, one problem continues to persist. The lower playfield GI lights still do not work. I have worked through the driver board and located a fuse next to connector J115 that was blown. It's a 5A 250V #313. I replaced the fuse with another fuse and momentarily had the GI working, however, once again the fuse burned out and the lower playfield lights went out. This leads me to believe there is a short somewhere but I don't have any idea where to begin looking for it. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your support!

Bride of Pinbot issue: When the game is over, and there is still one ball locked below the head, the ball releases at the same time the head is rotating to its first position; the end of game sounds go silent and there is no sound as the machine goes into match cycle. It seems as though the rotation of the head coupled with the firing of the coil is causing this issue. Does anyone have any suggestions to remedy this?

That part is normal, it’s a glitch in the software.

This is a known bug in the software, unfortunately no fix. The lights you will need to double check every single socket in the string to make sure there is nothing else touching that shouldn’t be. If nothing will have to pull the bulbs and put them in one by one until the fuse blows.
