Hi Pinsiders,

I'm hoping someone can provide some guidance to this newbie.

After playing my Creech this evening, I lifted the playfield to swap out a dead bulb. As I lowered the playfield, the vertical upkicks started alternatingly firing (no, I did not power down the game to change the bulb). When everything was back in place, my ColorDMD and flippers were dead. I re-booted the machine to see if that would help. The "error" sound played, and the ColorDMD and flippers were still dead (since DMD is dead, can't see what the error message is). When I pressed the Start button, the upkicks started firing again (they eventually stop after launching a ball). All other aspects of game play seem okay (sound, lights, bumpers, etc.). The fuses seem okay, but maybe my old eyes are missing something? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Problem with unregulated +12V. Check fuse at F116.

Thanks Randy! That fixed it. F116 was hiding behind a bunch of wires, so I missed it completely.
