Hello folks,
This is my first post, hoping to get some help in my issue with Hot Tip.
My machine has the usual problem with the burnt connector on the PSB as you can see in the image.
The back glass lights weren't working & I noticed the pin for the lights in the connector was coming out when I would remove the connector.
I soldered the pin back into the PSB & now light are working & the game plays great. I left the game on while working on one of my EM's & after about 3 hours my son & I started playing Hot Tip, after about 2 games the machine just stopped in the middle of playing but was as if we just turned it on. Started a new game & would just keep shutting down. I noticed the strip of capacitors on the driver board in the image were extremely hot. After letting the machine cool down it plays fine. I have seen the capacitor kits for the PSB upgrade, will replacing those 4 capacitors solve my issue or is there something else causing the over heating?
