OK, got my Getaway setup yesterday and my nephew played a couple games while I did a couple other things around the house. When I walked up to him after a couple of games I noticed none of the controlled lights were working. I did some digging and found there was a jumper ran from the a resistor to BR1, presumably to bypass a damaged trace, that had broken. I resolder the jumper but still no controlled lights. I get no 18v at the 18V TP, and the 50V test point reads 78V. Is it possible that BR1 went bad? I tried to test it but had trouble getting the probe on the leads since I hadn't pulled the board since there were a couple connector pins bypassed by directly soldering the wires to the board. Tested all fuses and they all tested good.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply Chris. Pretty sure F114 is good checked all the fuses right away so unless it blew after that it should be good, I will check it again. TP8 did not have 18V. Not sure about LED6, I'm at work right now. I will check the other things you mentioned when I get home. Should be able to fix the hacks. Lucky for me I work at electroncis manufacturer so I have the tools, and my skills are getting better. My trouble shooting skills really suck though. Again thanks for the help.

Reseated all connectors yesterday. Pulled F114, tested it and it was good. LED6 is not lit. No 18V at TP8. 13.3V on J101 between pins 4 and 7. Pretty sure it is BR1, again tough to test since I haven't removed the board due to the direct soldered connections. Will verify when I get the parts. Gonna replace any way so I can redo the jumpers. Again thanks for the help guys I will update when I get my parts and get my board repaired.

OK finally got some time tonight to replace the bridge rectifiers on my board and I was all jazzed to get the Getaway up and running. Unfortunately no dice, still no 18V. Any ideas where should I go from here?
Thanks,
Kim

Which pin should I be testing on the bridge? Don't think it is a broken trace, I jumppered most of the connections on both bridges because the barrells were toast.

You guys were right. Didn't jump one of the traces. All good now. Thanks again guys, you're the best.
