Quoted from PinMonk:

First, was the Service bulletin upgrades already done on this machine? If not, vibration can cause this failure:

https://sternpinball.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Stern-SB190revB.pdf
Second, check the connections to the board first, both two and from.

Do you know where someone who is not in the business can obtain these tech bulletins for ghostbusters? I like to have all the tech docs available prior to having the issue.
Stern only shows 4 tech bulletins for GB on its site. Surely there must have been more.

Did stern change the design of node boards 8 and 9? I realize they are the same part number. Reason for asking. Error message: “node board 9 not found” on start up. Using diagnostics node 9 not initialized (Only led on is red=constant). So I look at the pdf file on sterns website to add a foam or whatever piece to lessen vibration on a diode so it wont break. Well neither of my node boards have the d9 shown on the photos on their pdf.

Marco doesn’t have these in stock. I imagine no one does and they all just order as needed from stern?

Only had this 3rd hand machine a few months, looked at the manual, looked in the back box, cabinet also.... so where do they hide the damn fuses? Are they inside the power supply... main board has all power leds as well as Rx Tx, etc all looking like they should.

Any thoughts or pointers regarding this appreciated.

Pic of node 9 and node 8. As you can see D9 does not look anything like what is pictured in sterns pdf file for securing the diode.

Quoted from Rager170:

I dont think thats the right node board. It looks different as you have said..
EDIT - Actually, I think it is but looks like the diode broke off? It seems to be missing compared to this image.[quoted image]

Perhaps you didn't realize that I posted pics of both node 8 board and node 9 board. Node 8 board has all leds functioning. I asked the question because node 8 board while looking identical is not having any issues or errors. If I am reading the printing on the boards correctly in the 2 two photos I posted, there is actually a component in the place marked as d9 on both boards as you can see. My photo is more closeup than others posted. Mine do not show anything to lead me to believe anything has broken off, which is why I asked.

Found in another post, Some boards had the D9 diode installed as surface mount... Either way still waiting for a new board to arrive. I bought 3 so I have spares from 3 different vendors. From what i have been reading it will be piece of mind. Lots of info in the thread "holy node board batman"
