Hey guys,

Have had some weird power issues in my game room that seems to have effected the 5V on most of my 90s BW games. Now, all of the sudden the GI on my MET Premium is flickering/strobing. Like about to send me into a full seizure its so bad. Not playable. Has anyone seen this before or have a solution?

Thanks in advance.

Bumping this thread. First time I didn't get a reply to a tech issue. This has me worried. LOL. Beuhler?

Quoted from dgposter:

What ultimately fixed this issue for me was turning the GI brightness level down. Hasn't happened once since doing that.

Quoted from Brady2Gronk:

There are a couple threads on this. Search ac/dc GI lights flickering. I had this issue too. You need to disconnect the wires and then put them back on the power bridge. It’s inside the backbox on the left side.

Quoted from Oshara:

Mine was the red and black connector on the board directly in the middle underneath the playfield. The connector is on the top right of the board next to the grey cat cable. I reseated it and also reseated the other end in the backbox that is connected with a Z connector. Reseating these made my seizure like flicker go away. Sorry going from memory but can try to post pics when I get home in a few days.
Also some other suggestions in this thread. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/metallica-premium-gi-flicker-problem#post-3825698

Quoted from Rob_G:

I just replaced that connector on my game because it was getting hot and discolored. The new connector is fine, no more problem.
