Figured I would post this here. I am guessing this would be most of the wpc games.

I am having a problem with my fish tales. Seems row 7 (control lights)(fish finder, long cast, port side, I and super jackpot) are lit when i start a game. They never go out even when I make the shot. I have check all of the diode and they are fine. Not sure what to check next. Maybe a board issue? Side note. When in attract mode they pulse and flash with the light show.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

could be a board issue but have you surely eliminated a chance that its due to a short in the wire that is common for row 7? Id start there.

I didnt think it would be a short since they are lighting up. But I will go back and check continuity from light to light to see if the wire is broken or what not.

Shorted Q84 transistor on driver board. Pinwiki will tell you how to test it.

I will try and replace the transistor. I figured if it was bad nothing would have worked. Makes sense though. Like a bad coil transistor would lock on. Thanks for the advice.
