Are the sling lights and the lights under the lane guides connected to the pop bumper lights? Every other light is working *minus pop bumpers because I cut the leads for new sockets* and the GI lights on the bottom. I remember the pop bumper lights were yellow wires and so are the lower GI so I'm thinking that's the issue, but need to make sure!

Also anyone know what bulbs go behind the back playfield Lie mural? I have a 44, 3 555s, and need to know what goes in the gray sockets if someone can help out.

Another issue I just found: Ok more: All of the backbox GI lights are out except for the ones across the top that light up the Fish Tales part of the translight! Any idea where to start on this issue also?

All of the flashers are working in the back box so not sure if maybe the back box GI is also tied to the pop bumper string somehow?

Will check those fuses and the 2 GI connectors.

Still curious though if the pop bumper lights being out of the loop will kill the lower GI? Like I stated the wires going to the pop bumper leads are yellow and the lower PF gi lights are also yellow wires.... Hopefully the parts will be in this week so I can put the pops back on and see if that fixes my theory as they were working before I tore the machine down.

The connectors are both good, all the wires under the PF are good, and still no bulbs!!!!!!!!
I'm still baffled by this damn GI issue also! The line is purple/white and the upper portion of it works, but not the lower part... Also the 2 boat GI don't work either so wtf???

Also now the flippers don't work, the coin door/start button are all dead also!!! WTF did I do?? I know you're not supposed to normally mess with the game on, but I was wiggling wires trying to find a loose connection and I heard a little pop.

Updates: Talked to jim at rottendog and the board hit the mail on it's way to him today! Most likely the U120 chip or whatever, but hopefully it doesn't cost a fortune to fix a new board!

Also the GI issues were all because of three fuses. I had tested every fuse in the game, but guess I did something to blow them and just didn't realize it.
