Quoted from vid1900:Where along the connectors did you loose power?
You know you have it at the power supply (test there first) and don't have it at the playfield.
You should have 6.2vac at each connector all the way to the playfield.
Make sure you meter is on AC and let me know where in the chain the power has been lost.
Gotcha! This may be a silly question but do I place one lead on a test point and the other on a pin?
Or could I just place the black lead on the ground braid? I have alligator clips to make it easier too
UPDATE: There is power running from all connectors, I put the playfield at a certain angle and all the playfield GI would come on again! Then when I put the playfield all the way down it turns off again, something must be loose. Any ideas on what is loose?
Quoted from Msch:Is it possible that you have pinched some wires while lifting the playfield?
I think I did a couple days ago when I had it popped open 
Quoted from Schwaggs:Check the connector that runs from the backbox to the playfield. Follow the wires from the fuse block down into the hole that leads to the bottom cabinet. There will be a connector there. Check that connector.
Will do, thanks man

Quoted from Plumonium:Did you find the problem? I have the same.
Yes, I did. Super easy fix. Try checking GI wires in far right corner under the playfield. There's like two or three wires soldered together and sometimes they break apart when pulling the playfield up. If that's the case, solder them back together.
Hmmm, what game is this?? My Firepower doesn't have a relay board 
That looks newer! I still may be able to help!
Quoted from mbaumle:Those little relay boards always have cold solder joints. Always. Reflow all the joints on the board and see if that helps.
Pinbot doesn't have an interconnect board, but I believe it's still prone to poor GI connections. They're the yellow connections in the backbox. See if they're burnt up as well.
I second this 
Quoted from Plumonium:Sorry to hijacking your thread but I thought it was a good place to start and gather even more info instead of starting a new thread. It might get more traction though... I'm in a pickle here.
Update: Started a new thread here
