Quoted from TicTacSeth:Solved, fuse didn’t look blown at all, but it was.
Solved the second issue too, cracked solder joint.
Last thing to solve is a weak pop bumper.
Nice work. My pop bumper is less strong than any other game I have but I assume it is because of the tight confines it is in so as not to tear things apart with the ball. It should be a 23-800 which is used alot in this game and is less powerful than Walking Dead's 26-1200.
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:the inserts as level as I could. Still a tiny bit proud of the PF, but they just wouldn't go down further
Curious, since I need to do the same - did you use heat from the bottom to loosen the glue and them tap them from the top or did you just tap them from the top?
Quoted from C0untDeM0net:What else should I be on the lookout for before powering it on to see what the error is?
Congrats. The first thing to look at is the batteries. The error is likely an 'ADJUSTMENT FAILURE' or 'FACTORY SETTING' that are caused by dead or missing batteries. If it has been sitting there for 20 years then you may have some fuzzy green alkaline corrosion to deal with.

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:The error is likely "adjust failure" or "factory settings" and is being caused by dead batteries. First thing to do is remove them and check the area for alkaline corrosion.

Welcome to the wonderful world of reimported pinball machines. Many of my pins have come through container buys from Italy with a local group of collectors. We have seen some pretty 'imaginative' and 'innovative' repairs by those european operators. We have fun learning and getting together for repair parties, with many of the machines coming together every June for our nwpinball Northwest Pinball And Arcade Show. I hope it's up and playing soon, and when it is, leave the attract mode on...
Quoted from C0untDeM0net:bottom half of my GI just stopped working
And you've checked the GI connector 3J8 on the power supply board? Not uncommon for them to be burnt to a crisp and needing re-termination/pinning.
