I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I have a Ballys mr and mrs pacman pinball. I'm having power issues and I do not know where to begin. My pin was working great until one evening and when I went to power up the game nothing was working. There was a couple of lights that came on and that's all. So I turned it on and opened up the back box to do further inspection and when the power was turned on the tests lights on the squak and talk board was working but the other board that has the light just stays on. If I hit the test switch on the talking board it works. If I hit the test switch on the other board nothing happens. So I sent out the board for repairs and they said they fixed it and put in a new back up battery and I'm good to go. Well when I hooked everything up I get the same results. So I checked my power logic board and that was testing bad. Here is what I got when I tested the board.
Tp1: 0.09
Tp2: 2.55
Tp3: 0.22
Tp4: 7.01AC test
Tp5: 0.56
So I sent that out thinking it was bad and they couldn't find anything wrong. Is there anyone out there that can point me in the right direction?
Thank you for everyone's help,
Jeff

I guess I would start by repinning the connectors. Most Bally/Stern games require Molex .100 connectors, and Great Plains Electronics or Jameco is a good place to start for parts and tools.
I'm no expert with this stuff, but mechanical repair I can do. Might be the issue, if the pins are cracked on the back.
