Quoted from DanielM:Dear Pinbot club,
Today I worked on Pinbot to see why the two lights located in the vortex are not working. I tried simply replacing the bulb with another that I know was working, the bulbs still failed to light. I popped the hood and located the two bulbs from underneath. There I found a yellow wire that was hanging loose, it appears to come from the bulbs that are not functioning. Is there anyone who can help identify where/what this wire gets soldered to? Perhaps a picture of the bottom of your playing field? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you
“in the vortex” suggests that you are refering to gi lamps. check if the nonfunctioning lamps each have at least one wire attached to both leads of the lamp sockets.
A. If yes, check if these connections if they have continuity with other functioning gi lamps.
a1. If yes, then probably the yellow wire is unrelated, maybe the sockets are defective
a2. If no, then go to the next line
B. If no check if the yellow wire has continuity with other functioning gi lamps
b1. If yes, then probably the yellow wire is the one you need - check what this wire is connected to and if it has voltage (check for ac for gi)
b2 If no, then you’ll need to fix a broken connection elsewhere
