Hallo im Tom and new Here. I have a Diner pin i Restore now.
Today i Finishing the backbox and wanted to do a Lampe Test, the Lampe go but the Display is dark
What Could be the error? ( the playfield is nötig install now)
Thx for your Answer Tom

Make sure you have the proper display voltages of +100 and -100 VDC.

i check the proper display voltages of +100 and -100 VDC the are ok
and the display ribbon cable i turn
but the Display is dark mmmmmmmm.
can i check other things?
thx for your answer
Quoted from PinballManiac40:How about showing some pictures
Also, is the game even going in attract mode and can start a game?
Quoted from Tom65:Its a original plasma display
I can't speak for a System 11, but when I started working on my Night Moves (System 80b) the AN display was extremely dim. This fixed itself overtime as the game was turned on, FWIW.
Quoted from Tom65:Is this plug on the right position?
No
It should be on J2.
The Connector on J15 received 12V with reversed polarity. Don't know if it blew something.
Ohh thx i chance it on the right place, but the display are dark, i think someting hase passed, put what?
Quoted from zaza:The Connector on J15 received 12V with reversed polarity. Don't know if it blew something.
If I read the schematic it looks like it's ok. 2J2, 2J15 and 2J16 are all connected and as long as the power source (from 3J3) is not connected it won't matter. The Diner manual shows that all three of these connectors are used.
12v.jpgThe J3 is connected, i think something hast gone up in smoke, but what?
Sorry for my englisch im from switzerland
But i See J16 ar not connected now, ohhh i Unterstand now J16 Must be olso connected Then it Works
Is this right?
Quoted from DumbAss:If I read the schematic it looks like it's ok.
J2 is 180º rotated relative to J15 and J16.
Seen by the silkscreen, +12V should be left and GND on the right side. This means that the connector on J16 (in the picture post#12) is the one that comes from the powerboard and carries the power and must go to J2 !
And the connector on J15 (correct gry-yel on left side) is now receiving 12V with reversed polarity.
If something on this powerline has a pcb with polarity sensitive electronics ( steppermotor driver in backbox ?) it could have caused to blow the fuse on the powersupplyboard for the 12V,......this is also where the +5V is derived from.

Ah. I see now. I don't think I've ever put in a plug the wrong way as the locking (friction) ramp and pin distance pretty much makes it impossible to do that. Keying almost always makes it impossible too but it appears that Williams keyed the center pin and unfortunately it's symmetrical which means you can insert the plug the wrong way around.
It looks like 2J15 is correctly oriented but 2J16 is incorrectly oriented.
I can stand corrected.
