Quoted from jtcentral:

I have a TAF that I am converting to LED. All lights where working prior to upgrade. After switching out I now have Column 1 lighting up Column 2. Also anytime you get below Row 3 in column 1 or 2 you get the Row 7 LED on for that column. I have tested all diodes and nothing is reversed, columns are not shorted, and I am getting good pulse on all the lines. Can a bad LED bulb cause all this nonsense?

There is a anti-ghosting game ROM which someone developed for TAF. I am not sure where to get it, but others may chime in.

I had LED's installed in the mansion inserts in my TAF and multiple insert lights would illuminate when one was lit. At that time someone told my about the anti-ghosting game ROM which is supposed to prevent this, but I never went that route and I reverted back to incandescent bulbs for the insert lamps and everything worked as expected.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

Did you install Non-ghosting LEDs in the inserts? Regular LEDs will do as you are describing.

Honestly I don't recall as it was 7-8 years ago. Perhaps they were regular LED's.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

I don't think non-ghosting LEDs existed 7 to 8 years ago. I bought ABlaze 3 LEDs back then and had ghosting issues at that time.

Well, that certainly explains my TAF mansion LED insert ghosting issues at the time then. I just confirmed via my shipping invoices that it was actually 8.5 years ago so I think you are correct in that the LEDs that I was using were not non-ghosting LEDs. Thanks.
