Half of the general illumination lighting on my playfield went out. I traced the issue to the connector at the relay board (located on the underside of the playfield). The connector was warm and showed signs of overheating - yellowing/burnt plastic. By re-seating the connector, I was able to get it working again.
Most of the playfield lamps have been replaced with LEDs.

I don't know if this is the result of the machine age, a previous fault, or some current problem. Does anyone have any experience with this issue or suggestions on corrective action? Thanks!
