Quoted from Pinchroma:You have had 7v boards that were sent out fail? You would be the first instance of that. I can't obviously authorize (neither can Lloyd) a swap of every light board if it's not broken. That is a jack thing but you can just email him. He will respond.

Yea. 7v boards are dying. A board fails every game now. Replacing boards won't matter because next game they'll be dead. I need a different power supply I think.
Quoted from iceman44:I feel bad for you guys that got the 5v boards, I was lucky to be in the early October group that got the updated boards..........I don't see anybody else whining to level of this guy, yes it would piss me off too but hey either adapt or get out and I feel that he's being overly dramatic......being the "light guy" himself.......him and his buddy came up with the GI lighting after all, which I bought.......the only guy that can't seem to fix it?
So I'm going to ignore all your personal insults and only respond to the facts. Let's say I was "the light guy", what could I do about power spikes blowing out proprietary rgb boards myself? I feel nothing. But if you have suggestions, I'm open to hearing them. Certainly this isn't easily solved by inserting one of my 6.5v 555 LEDs. Lol.
As for exaggeration. My boards now die every game. I just swapped 10 boards with new 7v boards (LTG can confirm). First game when I got an extra ball, the light show blew out board 24. That was one that I didn't swap with a 7v so ok. I swapped with a new one using my spare. Next game, skill shot blew up 15. I bypassed that on the menus. 15 is a 7v board. Next game skill shot blew up something else. I didn't bother to figure out what. It doesn't matter as I have no spares left and even if I did something else would just blow up on my next game.
I don't know what it is, but the new animation on skill shot, extra ball, and replay is almost guaranteed to damage one of my led boards. I'm sure my case is unique which is why I'm saying I have a lemon and am not trash talking the whole JJP platform. Why do I complain about it? Because after 4 support calls and several board swaps, I shouldn't have to initiate contact and track down the head of the company to sort this out. His staff should be empowered to handle this via nothing more than a support ticket. When this is resolved one way or the other, I'll state how.
Currently, the game is powered off and unplayable. So you said I should "adapt or get out". If someone wants to buy me out for what I paid into this, I'll happily get out. But no one will buy this game in this state without taking a huge loss. I'm not sure what you suggest by adapt. But other than going through the support channels while the game sits idle or letting every insert blow out until there are no lights, not sure what you suggest there either.
