I picked up a Baywatch this week and I just finished stripping down the playfield. I noticed that the only insert that appeared to light was "light shark flip." According to the manual, I should be seeing 18V on pins 5 - 8 on CN4 on the power board. I'm getting less than 2v instead. Any ideas?
EDIT:
After reading up more, I tested pins 1 and 6. I got 13.2V there.
ok, replaced the the rectifier with one I had sitting from a Williams, and now I'm seeing 18-19V on the 6 pin. Still no lights, though.
Morning bump. My thought now is that the rectifier took out the lamp matrix drivers on its way out. I'm going to try replacing a few to see if it changes things. Are the any other single points of failure?
I had a similair experience with Twister. No lamps feature, and it was due to the fact I had not tightened down tje screws on the driver board.
Ack. When I was looking to see if the screws or connectors were loose on any boards, I realized that the inserts were flashing. Not sure what action actually fixed them, as I was staring at the backbox at the time. :/
I'm hoping it was reseating the connectors on the driver board, since anything else might reoccur randomly.
Thanks!
