Just got my pinbits blackout mod for my MB. Game works great, no GI issues. Plugged the blackout in last night according to the instructions and it didn't work. To recap:

Took out j105 connector and put blackout mod in place. Then reconnected j105 on top. Didn't work as it should. Just didn't blackout but everything else worked fine.

Then I swapped j105 and j106. Now part of the pf won't light as it should (one of frank's purple lights).

Swapped it back to the first way with blackout installed. Now the wrong characters in the backbox light up (Creature lights when should be Drac). Never noticed that before.

Sounds like the wrong connectors are in the wrong places but haven't noticed anything like that before. No connector pins are broken and nothing is burnt.

Here are some pics of the driver board.

Switched them as you suggested and made sure all pins were in the right spot. Didn't do it.

The connectors themselves are keyed so you can't screw it up, but the blackout mod isn't.

I took the blackout mod off altogether and the backbox does the same by lighting up the wrong character.

J105 and 106 are replacement connectors from what I can see. Is it possible whoever did it lined up the wrong wires in the connectors?
