I'm working on a recently picked up Laser Ball - the top two pop bumper lamps and all inlane lamps don't work. Bulbs tested good, so it's not that, and I get no voltage on any of the sockets that don't light up. My assumption is that power is going into that circuit from the bottom pop bumper and out to the others (and my problem is in one of them, but that's such a pain to tear into that I haven't messed with it yet. Before I start diving in, am I right in thinking it's probably the wiring on the pops?

Quoted from Atari_Daze:

If I recall those are part of the GI path, white and yellow wires?
Look for something simple maybe like what I had on one of my LB machines in the pic.[quoted image]

I was hoping it would be that simple, but I didn't see anything that obvious.. I'm going to give it another look. Seems like it should be something simple like that.

Quoted from Atari_Daze:

Obviously my example would only cause issue with that single socket, but you may have a wire that came loose.
Don't overlook the simple and mundane items first!

So I did finally find the issue... Broken braided wire, but it was hiding under a damn staple! I didn't see it until I tugged on the wire and it popped out from under the staple. Patched it up and we're good as new!
