Hi guys,

F8 blew last night in the middle of a game. Replaced the fuse and it blew again. I disconnected J10 and replaced the fuse again. This time it was fine when I powered up the game. The VUKs, Pop bumpers, Trough Eject, and Auto Plunge are all dead. The YEL-VIO wire is shorting.

What's the best way to find the short?

Thanks in advance.

First do a visual inspection of the items listed above for broken wires or metal parts touching other metal parts.

Quoted from cody_chunn:

I have closely inspected all the sections the YEL VIO wires are attached to. No obvious metal on metal. The fuse blew mid-game and the only thing that was moving at the time was the Sandman 3-bank drop section. I have most closely inspected this area for fault.

Still no luck so far.
