    Hi guys,

    I am working on a Gladiator, and currently trying to fix lamp issues (inserts).
    I most of the time have more than 1 lighting up, so that seems like a diod issue.

    What has been done so far:
    - test with a brand new driver board to rule out the ICs
    - change all diods on the switch diod board below the pf
    - disconnected the apron led boards

    So the issue is elsewhere.

    I unfortunately do not have the manual, so would anyone have a pic of the switch and lamp matrix to help me pinpoint the issue?
    That'd be greatly appreciated !

    Some more info now that I received the manual from PBR and can see the lamp matrix.

    There is a connection:

    For example, when I lit "E" (row 0, col4) then both "shoot again" (row 0 col 0) and "Catapult 50M" (row5, col 4) lit up
    When I lit "A" (row 0, col 5) then both "shoot again" (row 0, col 0) and "left ramp hold) (row 5, col 5) lit up

    So it seems in a pattern.
    For all the lamps listed above the diod have been changed with new ones, without any luck.

    => and solved, the issue was the socket on the col 0, row 5
    Pattern confirmed and solved in a few minutes while I had the matrix in hand!
