Loveland, CO
Quoted from timlah79:NEVERMIND, STILL UNRESOLVED 1/10/21 10:30pm PST: I should have waited and played more before declaring resolution. After 5 plays I'm back to the same issue again. I've updated my last post about it: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/spike-2-node-9-overcurrent-protection-gi-failure-stern-jple#post-6066265
I haven't taken the glass off, picked the playfield back up, moved the machine, nothing since I posted the resolution, just played some games.
I have spent my entire weekend as well as wasting others' weekends trying to figure this out. I'm extremely deflated that it's now happening again seemingly out of nowhere. I have to walk away from this for tonight. Thanks again for everyone's continued support and expertise.
I'm not great at advice for repairs, but if it is a short it makes me wonder about a pinched wire from raising or lowering the playfield. Have you looked on the sides or at the back for a pinched wire? I had a getaway with switch errors years ago that drove me nuts. Finally found a wire back behind the supercharger that was pinched. Not surprising being an older game, and I think the wiring on stems is bundled up better. Just some random thoughts after watching football and enjoying some beers. Hope you can get it figured out
