Are you experiencing a particular problem with your EBD? Buying new boards at random is a pretty expensive thing to do if you don't need them.
Quoted from Sparky18:2 problems . Once the ball drains, it won’t eject. And one of the pins on a plug-in is broke off on a circuit board.
That might be one problem.
Some of the header pins are removed, it helps identify where and which direction to plug a connector in. So his might be normal. Which pin is it, on which board? You can find schematics for your game at ipdb.org and there will be a picture of the board in there somewhere with connector names like J1, J2, etc.
Or, it's possible that you do have a broken pin, and that pin is for the trough switch, in which case you can save yourself a few hundred bucks by just getting a soldering iron, a solder sucker to remove old solder, and a rail of header pins for a few cents.
And if you have no interest in DIY, and would rather just spend the $ and swap boards, that's cool too. But it's definitely in your interest to identify the exact problem first before doing that, and make sure that swapping boards will fix it.
