OP
Quoted from VulpesMundi:

I'm having some trouble with the little board that houses the multiplier lights on Earthshaker. Mainly the connector pins are really wobbly and though the connector attaches fine, the lights generally won't stay active for very long. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Quickie video link below.

That looks like a classic case of "cold solder joints" between the pins and the traces on the board.
Find and watch a few videos. You can likely fix it yourself. If you're paranoid about touching the board with a soldering iron, any qualified tech can fix that no problem.
