Point out the threads, I'll respond. I can't remember seeing them. I'll go look.

Could not find a BSD post started by you. Post one and lets get him fixed. No sol or GI could be fuse or shot supply.

Same with the other two pins.

I'd say I would drive down and fix them but I'd not have any parts with me. I could come down and help you isolate the problem. May be a week as I'd have to take a day out of work. Weekends are already booked for the next couple at least.

Lets try a virtual fix first.

Sarah is very good, Keith at K's Arcade is very good, but until you know what is wrong you won't know what needs to be repaired not worth sending out boards.

Do you have a meter?
Do you have a manual? Here is a link to the IPDB one, download the English Manual

First fix the obvious...

On BSD, page 3-16 General Illumination is 6.3vac and comes off the transformer then into the power driver J113/J115 and is protected by a Slow Blow fuse. Is that fuse correct and good?

If it is good, the look at J120/J121 those connector are infamous for burning up.
Page 3-35 is a pict of the Power Driver board,
Page 3-36 is the pinouts of J120 (GI to backbox) and J121 (GI to playfield)

If you have neither GI on the Playfield and Backbox AND the fuse is good, then you have a Power Driver problem that needs component repair

If you have neither GI on the Playfield and Backbox AND the fuse is bad, you have/had a short on either PF or Backbox. Try another fuse, if it blows, disconnect J120/J121 and try again. If that does not blow, put on connector back until you isolate where it blows.

If you have backbox OR playfield GI but not both, then you definitely are looking at a J120 or J121 problem.

Hope this gets you started.
