Taxi
Williams, 1988I'm working a taxi. There is a 3 x bonus multiplier lamp which is computer controlled. The lamp should flash during attract mode and it's out. I can rule out the following issues:
- socket (replaced with working socket/lamp)
- reflowed pins on lamp board
The lamp Matrix is attached showing where the 3 x bonus lamp is located. However, I can't find which transistor in the manual lights the 3 x bonus insert. If someone can confirm which transistor is suspect, please advise.
Quoted from Barakawins1:please advise.
If only one lamp is not working then it isn't a transistor issue.
If the lamp is mounted on a lamp board you should test the diode for this light.
Quoted from GRUMPY:If the lamp is mounted on a lamp board you should test the diode for this light.
Thanks I thought so as well. It's gotta be linked to a diode or something on this board. I'll report back with my findings later tonight. If anyone has any other ideas, please advise.
Fix was to reflow solder on the lamp board pads at 3 x bonus cab and 2x bonus. Was missing a connection.
