Star Wars
Data East, 1992I'm trying to fix a DESW lighting problem. The playfield inserts lights keeps blowing the 8 amp slo-blo fuse, (just over the big cap at the lower left in the head)
I perform an in depth look at every light socket and could not find ground link "yet" (maybe there is an hidden one somewhere but I doubt it)
The game has recently been converted to LED but it was running fine for weeks before the issue appears.
Any lead what could be the problem?
Thanks
"The most common CPU Controlled Lamp Problem.
The most common controlled lamp problem occurs when the fuse blows (with the blue/white wires) that connects to the large 30,000 mfd capacitor and the bridge in the backbox. If this happens, ALL the CPU controlled lamps will not work! Check these three components for problems which would cause this fuse to fail."
