I have a Gold Wings we have been working on repairing and fixing up again, but we've seem to hit a wall with the repairs. We have several lights that are out and we can't seem to get working or working at full strength. First, the 3 lane select lights at the top are all out. They used to work periodically, now they never come on at all. My "Spot Top Roll-Over" and "50000" lights near my two circle lanes don't light up, My Bonus Multipliers lights are weak or missing, and lights for targets 3-5 and 6-8 are weak or missing, and Bonus 1000, 2000 and 4000 are out.

So far, we have checked bulbs, replaced the power supply, replaced the MPU, and swapped the driver board with my Hollywood Heat with no changes. Fuses were replaced for good measure. Bulbs were swapped one at a time to check for effect on the "area".

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!

Out bulbs have no voltage running through them or at the socket, periodic tracing through the ground strap shows good continuity. The one or two "flaky" bulbs that were flickering were touching another switch. All bulbs either on or off now.

Yes, the working bulbs are showing 6vdc.. It seems like they aren't getting anything voltage-wise on the non-working ones.

I have not done any of the recommended ground mods yet, and intend to do so in the future. This seems like its a different sort of issue, like the signal to fire these doesn't ever get to them.

Thanks guys, figured it out. One of the plugs in the side of the power brick wasn't seated in very well. Once seated properly, everything is back to working!

Off to do some ground mods.
