Right away my first thought was that lifting the playfield put tension on the wiring harness, which maybe cause a short somewhere. Like johnwartjr said, you'll have to investigate getting the +5VDC back first. I would suggest that you also try to carefully try lifting the playfield with the backbox innards visible so you can see what might be pulling on what. It really seems like something happened during what you did, rather than coincidence.

Quoted from Kordova:

Thanks for the input, Wayout. This was my concern as well. I tried what you've suggested, lifting the playfield, while trying to see what what shorted. If revealed almost no tension whatsoever on the wiring. The harness appears to securely zip tied to the cabinet, all inside plastic coping. Virtually nothing moved. I have also "futzed" extensively with the wiring the that region attempting to identify any short to no avail. Further, this doesn't seem like it should have caused a full loss of 5V at the power supply. Though I am not ruling this out, I think my first step has to be to repair/replace the power supply first.

Well, at least you looked...could be coincidental. Vibration alone from lifting the playfield could have jostled something. Take care of getting the power supply running, then search again as thoroughly as possible again. That's really all you can do. If something is loose or shorting it might rear its ugly head later.
