My backbox does not light up when i turn it on but the flasher bulbs do work.
The back box should be lit up when playing correct ?

Quoted from fatality83:Yes, there is general illumination lights in there that should light up when the game is on. I would check the GI plug where it goes into the board
Could this be the culprit ? Looks burnt out.
How do i fix this ? Thanks for the imput !
Quoted from fatality83:I am not familiar enough with this board to know if that is a GI connector or not. I would have to look at a manual to see if that is in fact a GI connector but yeah it looks burnt and should be replaced. You would need a new molex connector, new trifurcon pins and new header pins. Cut the wires, splice on the new. Here is a guide that shows how to replace molex connectors. Go down to 2f

Thank you !!! Will try everything else on the machine works great so i suspect thats it
Quoted from gdonovan:Yes
Great plains electronics sells high amp fuse clips. Easy enough with soldering iron to replace.
So you need both sides of a clip holder to transfer the electric ? Ok seems easy enough i have a soodeeing kit and will try thank you
Quoted from gdonovan:Doesn't take much to lose contact. I had one pin where I just rolled the fuse in the holder and the lights came back on. DE are notorious for issues with the 4 GI strings, I'd replace all four of the fuse holders as cheap insurance. They are cheap and you will have the board out anyways.
Good call, parts ordered. ! Thank you !
