Hey guys. Working on my Earthshaker....the right flipper pops its fuse when you hit its the right side cabinet button. I havent looked into it yet... but what is concerning me a bit is my interconnect board. I got some nasty charring going on near the 5w resistors. I assume this is somewhat common(not good but common) but here is my question: I swear at some point i read something about these resistors having a better replacement....or different type to use. I could be wrong. Im going to replace all of them as they arent looking too nice right now. Any recommendations on what to use or just stick to the stock type? Thanks!

I realized i didnt post the board model! It is a D-12313-2003. I am looking through the parts listing in the original manual...it lists the board as D-12313-568. Some parts in the manual have diff specs than what is installed on my board. I also found an open resistor at R9. I may just order everything the manual states. Unless someone has found something else out.

Thats probably what i was thinking of. Something along those lines...I will mount them farther off the board. Thanks for the input

I didnt see your reply untill today. I have had terrible board scorching under R9 and R10 which led me back here to check on resistor values. Based upon your picture of what the game should have, A previous repair was made and incorrect values were put in R9 and R10. R9 had an 11ohm and R10 had a 3ohm resistor instead of two 5.6ohm in those spots. I wonder if the scorching was caused by that....no matter I have the correct values jn there now and the board was reparable. I needed to replace the male end of connector J4 as it was deformed as well. This is the before pic

Ill do that. I do some searching on this too but, what about the large 30000uf cap in the backbox. It's pretty old now and I was thinking of replacing it. This gane is still used daily on site during the summer months so I was just trying to keep everything running nicely as long as I could. The only other issue I have with earthshaker is upon powerup. Sometimes I cannot get it to boot unless i turn it on or off 3 or 4 times. It will emit a loud high pitch noise with garbage on the displays, or it will light up with a blank display and not do anything from there. Once it boots, it is solid. Im trying to narrow down things that could cause that and it makes me think power related problems.

Thanks guys for all the info. ill post back when all is said and done.
