I spoke with my dad on the topic (did not lay everything out but gave him enough info to go on) and he says that you are drawing too many amps.

I think you have a short somewhere.
Check physical board for any soder splashes or bridged traces.
Quoted from Knxwledge:About 12 lamps are stuck on at all times. Ive visually inspected the underside of the PF multiple times, repinned the connectors going to the driver board, and put a new replacement driver board in. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which lamps are stuck on.
They are 4x, 2nd right and center drop target, 1000, 5000 and 9000 bonus, bottom left pop bumper, left extra ball rollover. The M at the top of the playfield never lights.
The 6v line which connects all sockets is giving me 5.8v when game is in attract
Did you buy the driver new or second hand? Check the signals coming from each of the 74175s or equivalent on the driver board.
Those chips might of gone bad.
