Quoted from Pinball-DOOD:

I'm confused! I really want to fix this!

We are confused as well without more information.

Quoted from Skins:

You need to post a lot more info if you want help from the tech guys here. Game? What did you work on (CPU, audio/visual, driver board, etc), did you unplug any ribbon cables, plugs etc.

Yes, post a picture. Is that the only work you did?

Quoted from Pinball-DOOD:

I didn't put enough solder?

Can't tell without a picture.

Problem with soldering to those old connectors, you just may not get a good solder bond, unless you desolder and scrap the legs a bit and the resolder. Or just install new connectors.

Yes, this seems like an issue still.

Sometimes though, I do see the wired connectors as issues and have to repin the ends of the wires. Can you move the wires a bit when the game is on to see if it clears up any of the displays?

Quoted from Pinball-DOOD:

Gotcha, I am going to put the boards back in once again because I just reaoldered some joints that looked a little strange. Do you know why the game would be speaking when it's not supposed to?

During game play or just in attract mode? What are the sounds doing when you play a game.

Which connector and which direction is did you install it wrong?

#25 7 years ago

What connector number is it? You may have sent a higher voltage to a lower voltage line. Likely displays and sound issue likely are related.

I would have to locate the drawings and review. Likely someone else will have some ideas before I can get a chance to review.

I just wanted to help get all the information as possible to help you get this repaired.

Have any other games with this board set?
