Quoted from Taryn:So lift up the entire playfield. How do you check them? I'm sorry I know nothing about these machines. Thank you for your patience.
We all started somewhere. Do you know how to remove the glass so you can lift the playfield?
Quoted from chas10e:I believe the problem has been isolated to the bridge rectifier using barakandl 's skilled troubleshooting technique.
This means a component on the board will have to be replaced. Pinwiki has great info but if you are brand new to pins you might consider either sending the board out to ChrisHibler or

We can walk you through replacing it if you are so inclined and know how to use a soldering iron.

Quoted from barakandl:note that playboy will not be using J1 Pin 9.
Quoted from Taryn:Here is J1

Are you sure that's rectifier J1?
