Does anyone have a photo of an Airborne with the LED OCD installed? I don't want to damage my machine and want to make sure it's hooked up correctly.

Quoted from herg:Why not post yours and we can review it?
Thanks that's a good idea. I will take one when I get home tonight and post it before turning on the game.
I'm hooking it now, does the LED OCD work right out of the box for Airborne (it was purchased for this game from Herb, or will I need to use the software from the site?
Quoted from herg:First, I'd recommend getting the standoffs installed across the left side. If the board gets pressed on, they will prevent it shorting against the metal plate.
Second, I can't really see the power and ground connections all that well.
thanks, I'll get a photo of those and post them up. I believe I have those correct but appreciate the assistance.
The LEDs are operating correctly and the board has them non-flickering (looks great), except for the backbox lights that aren't coming on (flashers are working in the backbox, just not the reg LEDs) and the right upper side isn't lighting up. I'm reseating the cables and looking up the schematics to see where the issue may be.
It appears D2 is not lighting up on LED board, but D1 and D3 are solid as they should be. The other two are blinking slowly as they should.

Quoted from Hashman:Is there any particular leds i should be using? Just installed into my airborne but still getting flickering in the GI. Especially on the right hand side under the ramp. I think I am using non ghosting leds in there.
If you have any incandescent bulbs in the machine, it will blow fuses immediately. They all have to be led including ones in the head.
Quoted from TheLaw:Dont know if tgats and Airborne thing but def not true for my Pinball Magic
not sure, but it was an issue on my Airborne. I had cointaker LEDs in the entire machine except the head and it popped a small fuse on the OCD board as soon as powered up. Replaced them with LEDs and never had another issue. I had messaged Herg about it and he knew right away what probably was the cause and asked me if I had replaced all of the incandescents in the entire machine.
Quoted from TheLaw:Weird! I only know because the purple inserts with LEDs never looked good; so left mine incandescent.
definitely odd. Capcoms seem to be unique for sure. I have a Big Bang Bar that has the LED OCD board and it is grerat with LEDs, never had an issue with it either.
