Need some help -- I have this same problem (

), but it's intermittent. I can go a game or two with no issues, then in the middle of the third, it'll go nuts. Sometimes it strobes slowly, sometimes it's seizure inducing.

I went in the back box and pushed all of the cables back together that I could find, but it didn't seem to help and I don't know which one I should be focusing on.

Or could it be a connection under the playfield?

Pictures would be great as I'm still really new at this.

Thanks!

Quoted from JB-7X:

Try reseating the 3 pin connector on the GI driver board. It’s located dead center of the under playfield. The plug to check is on the upper right corner of that board. I had a faulty connector there. Stern sent me a new harness for a permanent fix.

Thanks! I reseated everything on the board (just in case), and it seems like it's fixed. I'll keep an eye on it to see if it comes back, but I played 3 games and it was fine, so fingers crossed!
