    Need some help. Was playing my Judge Dredd when it acted up. Was almost like it was searching for stuck balls solenoids all firing. I turned it off, all 6 balls in the trough but giving me a check fuses 114 and 115 error. 115 was good 114 was blown, had to order some replacements. Along with the error 2 solenoids are continuously firing, the kick up ones on sniper tower and from the subway. I recently added some LED lighting effects yesterday? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    How did you add these LED lighting effects? A clip? Double check to make sure you didn't short anything. F114 is lamp matrix. As Lloyd mentioned, good information and troubleshooting steps @ Pinwiki.

    Might be the added LEDs overload the +12V output, causing optos behaving badly. I suggest remove the extra LEDs temporarily and check that F115 is OK. If the game then works, problems is in the LEDs.

    Judge Dredd is just about tapped out with its power usage when stock. Adding just about ANY mods to it's existing power will cause problems. I know this from experience.

    I hooked up a ColorDMD to mine and that topped it out completely. Once I tried hooking up anything else including an LED strip, I started blowing fuses.

    Best advise is to unhook all mods and just run the machine stock on its current power. Hook up a separate power source for any mods you want to power. I put a meanwell power supply in my machine, running it off the service outlet inside with a relay to power it up when the machine comes on. All of my mods were powered by this secondary power source and the fuse issues went away.

    Follow up on JD. New fuse arrived and I unhooked all mods except the color DMD and it held. Guessing I overloaded the circuit. Will look into a additional power supply if I want the extra mods working! Glad it was a cheap and easy fix though. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
