The wire looks like the unused power connector after installing a DMD. If that's the case, it should not be reattached, but you need to make sure the wires are covered so they do not short against each other

Quoted from EricHadley:Ya agreed, but I don't even see that is has the plastic backer board. looks to me like the back of the board is exposed to the metal backer plate in the backbox. Looks like a world of hurt about to happen. BZZZZZZZ Sparks and boards blown
It’s the very first version of the LEDOCD, wires are short enough it won’t touch anything scary, unless the speaker board is inserted roughly
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:You'll want fuses rated for 250v. Auto parts stores often only have 32v rated fuses which will work but can spark when they blow. Home Depot or Lowes will most likely have 250v rated fuses of the amperage values you need.
Collin bought th game from me; I wrapped it, helped him load it up 3 flights of stairs, and we turned it in to make sure all coils and DMD fired ok. They did, but since we had left the legs at my house, the game wasn’t level, so not much fun to play. I am 99% sure we are just talking a blown fuse, but I didn’t see what happened exactly. We are trying to diagnose but its a little hard since I am at work.
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:Your meter is set to check DC voltage. When you check resistance on your fuses you need to turn the dial to what I've circled. The Arrow points to the Ohms symbol.
Edit: Also, when testing for 12v and 5v you need to move the dial one click clockwise to 20. In the photo it's set to 2000mv, which is too low.
Don't get discouraged We all started somewhere. We'll help you get it going again.
Collin, THIS THREAD is why Pinside is awesome!!!
