Changed a sniper on my Raven & now the GI goes out when counting bonus

Ugh. Broke the bottom left sniper the other night so I changed it with the one in the left orbit since that one's missing the spring & was unplugged.
Unplugged the front one, removed the mechs, changed the snipers, installed the mechs & plugged the front one in. Now, in attract mode when the chaser lights go on, the GI goes out. It also goes out when it spells Raven after pushing start & while counting bonuses.
I don't see how it could be a wiring problem, but I guess I'll be spending the evening jiggling wires to try to see which one's the culprit. Should be fun!

Is it like this? If so, you had an issue before and now it's working properly. Otherwise it's more than likely a grounding issue.

Yeah, that's what it's doing now. That's the way it should be? When I bought it years ago, the GI stayed on so I thought that's the way it should be. Seems odd to go out while counting bonus.

I don't think this is correct, as the GI will blink off when you hit a lit sniper. Anyways, it started staying lit last night, so I'll leave it.

This is the way it should be working. If the gi stays lit you have an issue not that it should affect the game at all. Mike

Okay, I turned it on last night & it's now behaving like this again.
Seems odd though, with the GI blinking off when a lit sniper's hit.
I won't worry about it then.
