Hi guys,
I am facing an issue which really puzzles me.
On my Stern Stars that I am currently restoring, half of the controlled lamps are out.
CPU is a brand new alltek
lamp driver board is also a brand new alltek
continuity between the lamps and the connectors on the board is fine
Tried with brand new sockets
I've reflowed all the soldering on the power board (attached to the transformer)
and still having the exact same issue
any idea on what to check next?
Quoted from Cheddar:Check the lamp buss wiring on the rectifier board connectors. And make sure the buss wire for the affected lamps has continuity.
Look for wires that connect to the uninsulated braid connected to the affected lamps
Bus is actually fine, reflowed them all, and on the same bus I have some lamps working while others aren't.
Good guess though
