Everything else in the game is working. GI, switches, sound, DMD, the game plays. BUT not a single insert lights up. I did a quick test of all the fuses and everything looked good. Any ideas on where I should look first to explain why not a single insert lights up? THANKS!

Have you tried reseating connectors j133 and j137 on the power driver board? Maybe a lamp matrix problem.

Not sure if it will help but check it out. Also make sure to test the fuses out of the machine.

Did you test the fuses with a multimeter? Any connectors burnt? It would be unlikely, but I would test to make sure all bulbs are not burnt out.

Focus on TP8 and LED6.

It's likely someone has done some work on your power driver board by replacing capacitors that probably did not need replacing and introduced this problem.
