Hey dude,

We had a similar issue with a GOT on location here. It turns out there was a short in one of the bulbs in the game. When we replaced it problem fixed.

This may sound crazy but try replacing those bulbs you just messed with, with some other bulbs or take them out and see if the game plays correctly.

Did you replace bulbs in the lower area only?

I have them in the spot flashers of my GOT. No issues. Weird.

This is the same behavior I had with mine before the node board finally died completely. Unfortunately I had not changed any bulbs in my GB machine. Hope swapping out that led solves your issue, but if you have the issue again, my experience suggests it's time for a new node 8 board.

Was your game new or on old code when this happened? Just curious.

1.05 I think.

Thanks.

Does a bad led or shorted lamp socket take out a node board? I surely hope not as this can easily happen as games get older. Loose led, debris in empty socket,blown fuse or node?

I haven't seen anyone report something like this happening yet.

I don't believe a bulb caused my issue. I just had similar behavior before my node board died. After replacing that board (and all the lamp boards ) I've had zero issues. in the last month or so I have had an LED that dims occasionally during play, but i haven't gotten around to fixing it.. hasn't given me any issues with the node board.

FWIW, I did replace the node board with its latest revision, the one they are putting in Aerosmith (Pro) and later.

it might be a feature of that " New built-in automotive-grade circuit protection for LEDs" stern claims the spike system to have.
