Hot Tip
Williams, 1977Like dominos, all my games are crashing at once. Lol
On my Hot tip all GI suddenly stopped working.
I pulled all fuses and checked with a meter.
I checked for 6.3 volts from power supply.
I have pulled and reseated all plugs I thought might control GI.
But nothing has worked.
Even went as far as to check the bulbs to make sure they did not all blow at once.
Any ideas are welcome.
check the solder side of the power supply for cracked or burnt solder connections of the input and output pins.
Quoted from pinballdaveh:check the solder side of the power supply for cracked or burnt solder connections of the input and output pins.
Thanks. I will do that when I get time.
Any more ideas on this still welcome.
Problem solved finally.
Tested the fuse in line for speed and it tested good. Pulled one end out of the clips and again it tested good. Arrrrrrgh, must be the wiring or board problem. After going over everything, I decided to replace the fuse anyway. Couldn't hurt right? As I am pulling the fuse out the whole thing just pulls apart. Never had this happen before. But now the game looks great again.
