Hello all, I noticed the other night that the lights on the left and lower left portion of my Star Trek's back glass are out, again. When I originally got the game, they were out but I replaced / repined the connectors for that part of the back glass and they worked until now.

Reseating the connector did nothing. Don't understand why they'd be out again with all new connectors!? The other half of the backglass lights are working fine.

Any thoughts on where I could look?

Thx
Tom

Download the manual here:

You should be able to trace down where you are missing voltage with a meter.

Also look for a broken wire or ground braid where they are stapled as they go from bulb socket to bulb socket.

Good Luck!

Found it. Just for completion.... a cracked solder joint on the PPB board on connector J5. Caused that string to go off.

Thx
Tom
