Quoted from chuckwurt:Keep the connector and just repin it.
Ah, yeahhh. I guess I could but I don’t have the extraction tool haha. I am going to put an ad up for it probably.

I think you should repin every connector that you know hasn’t been repinned or replaced.
There has to be something that can substitute and used to get the old pins out of that connector.

Yeah, absolutely. I will definitely need to get my hands on something
Quoted from Pinball-DOOD:Yes! I omitted the edge connector and put in an IDE cable. Do you also see that the reset signal goes under the cabinet? I wonder if the issue is there?
Could you post a pic of the IDE cable you installed there?
Quoted from frunch:Could you post a pic of the IDE cable you installed there?
Sure! I’ll be there on Thursday to take a pic
Sounds good! In the meantime you may want to reach out to Docent and see if they're open for biz. Another pinsider here tried them recently and got no response (yet, at least). I'm not really sure where else to get the connectors otherwise
I sent them an order and never heard back. I suggest taking your business elsewhere. Try Great Plains electronics.
That is weird! I know I replaced A1J2 from Docent about 4 months ago and had no problem. I wonder what’s up
Quoted from frunch:Could you post a pic of the IDE cable you installed there?
Here it is! I am going to check those two connectors (with the reset line) this weekend hopefully. I will definitely try Docent for the display connector.

If so, i wouldn't necessarily bother getting the connectors from Docent. IDE cables are the better choice if possible.

Right! My display is original so I’ll need to buy one of those blue connectors from Docent haha. I’ll just bother the hell out of them!
This is the other connector I am gonna need to find in the game haha. Not even sure if it will be an edge or a molex connector because it is under the Playfield. I would check it out today but the roads are real bad! Diamond Lady is at the family Lake House so I don’t get to go there often right now because of the crappy weather!
5B20D834-F49C-4099-B994-96F9DE5C270B (resized).jpegDon’t worry about anything in the cabinet right now. Concentrate on repinning every connector that plugs into the boards in the head. Report back once all of that is done.

Sounds good
Says somewhere in the bottom cabinet. Not very helpful, lol! Still, it's a place to start looking. In fact, it appears to be a 9-pin connector and all the wire color codes are labeled.

Just refer to the chart at the bottom right where the color codes are listed. 1726545395.png
Then you can track down the 9-pin connector in the bottom of the cab that has that set of colored wires.

Thanks, man! Think it’s a molex? Haha
Remember all connectors have labels on them. Also remember that the connectors in the cabinet are mostly the cubed shaped ones. I’d look for a 3x3 one.

Awesome, thanks! I’ll try to hunt for it. I need to meter continuity between that connector and the two other connectors
Quoted from chuckwurt:A10J2 is in the backbox. It’s right in line with 1A4J1.
It’s square with 9 pins in it.
Perfectttt, thanks man haha.
