OK I need help.

#1 Keep in mind im an idiot.

Went to install the gate mod by goodtobedad and clipped the wrong wires. I clipped 3 wires, a yellow, and two red at the wrong spot. See pic.

Since I realized this at the moment I clipped the third wire, I said hell, if I need to pull the iron out to fix this, why not solder in the gate as well at the same time. Got it all soldered back the way it was, flipped the game on, crazy ghosting of some inserts. I thought maybe I switched the red wires on the mess up re-solder, so i turned it off and swapped the wires. Same issue.

Game plays fine, but the C, H, Ramp JACKPOT, and a few other inserts are now ghosting as well as one of the pop bumpers it looks like. The gate lights up and flashes during bone busting as it should.

Here is a short video showing the ghosting.

Any ideas? Bad solder job maybe? I cant figure this out. I messed up, so pissed.

Diode too hot is the best ive heard so far. I may have one sitting around. Can i test it still on the machine or do i need to desolder it first?

Thanks for the help fellas.

oooo...good point. ok, I will remove it tonight and report back. Thanks guys!

Got a replacement gate to see if that was the issue. It is not. Something is either wrong with my machine, or another sound related/other mod issue is causing the problem with everything. I just wanted to vouch for Goodtobedad, his mod is very nice and is not causing this issue. Carry on.
