    Quoted from Kingjowjow:

    Hello Everyone,
    I recently purchased my first pinball machine a 1990 Bally Dr. Dude and was installing a trough light kit from comet pinball. I had the machine turned off and connected the alligator clips to a GI light below the playfield and when I turned on the machine the bank of lights I connected the trough light to with the alligator clips does no longer turn on, even without the alligator clips on them. It's odd becuase when I tried the other side it worked fine and the GI lights still turn on. Did I blow a transitor by chance? Any advice is appreciated on how to re lite these GI's thank you so much for any tips![quoted image]

    Sounds like a fuse popped on the aux board under the mpu

    Quoted from PinballManiac40:

    Aux board is on the far right. You actually mean the interconnect board, which has 4 GI fuses.

    Yes

    Thank you. I replaced the lights in my pop bumper as well. Now 2 of the 3 do not light ugh idk where to look for these guys.

    Pop bumpers can be finicky, depending on the type of bulb, it could just be a bad connection at the bulb insert, try wiggling the bulb while the machine is on, inspect everything and look to see why the connection may be bad
