I am struggling to get the lights working on my FLASH playfield. Most of the lights work in the backbox but the playfield, both general illumination and the active game lights are dark.

The boards have been refurbished, from what I can tell the pins on the boards are carrying the proper 16-18 volts, so all I'm left with is the thought that it must be the connectors.

A) Does this reasoning make sense or should I be looking elsewhere to solve the problem?

B) Any advice on how to rebuild these connectors?

C) if all else fails, does anyone have a recommendation in the Rockville, Maryland area of a tech that makes house calls to work on such issues in early SS pins?

Loaded the wrong picture, sorry...all I was really trying to show was the type of connector I was dealing with. I believe the blue/black wires are for the control lamps.

Any suggestions/advice on rebuilding these connectors? Do you think the connectors could be the issue?

Thanks for the input.

The missing fuse is meant to be missing, not in use for this game.

As for the wires following to the playfield, they actually run from the power supply board on one connector and then split to two different connectors on the driver board. The black go to one connector and the blue to another.

From what I can tell, it is not a connector issue. All the connections seem solid. More importantly, ALL the control lamps are dark. I imagine if it were only one or two loose wires/connections, only an occasional lamp would be out. Does this make sense?
