Got my t2 14 days ago. Up to page 120 on this thread.
Taking all topside off and cleaning .removed mylar.

Gonna touch-up and auto clear.
Upper backbox gi and back left playfield gi weren't working.

Replaced fuses and back left playfield gi is good.

Upper backbox is why I'm posting.
Replaced connector with molex style. Continuity from connector up to lights.
Tested the header pins and was getting 7.9 volts.
Put connector on header pins
And no joy.

So pull board and reflow header? Even though I'm getting a good voltage reading?

Thx for any help.

Yes I tested appropriate header pins 1 and 7 for upper backbox gi.Got voltage reading 7.9

Pins 2 and 8 read 5.8 volts for bottom backbox lights which have worked on both idc and new molex connector.

Put new 11 pin molex connector
on and no voltage to upper backbox lights.
This was happening with original idc connector so I put new molex on.

With connector not connected
I have continuity from crimps up to lights.
Puzzling

I'll read up some more.

So I read some more.
Was buzzingfor continuity for brown wire gi.
Got over to j115 and pin 8 must have fried.

So this must be my problem.
So new connector at j115 and new headers I assume

Found some old j115 threads with some good info.
Got all the parts I need since I repinned all my sdb and mpu connectors on my meteor restoration last year and bought all kinds of stuff from gpe.

Will report back when resolved.
Thx.

Replaced J115 header pins
and put new molex connector
on and extended original yellow and
yellow white wires and "y'ed" into 11 new trifurcon
pins.

Reinstalled driver board with new headers and
reconnected everything and upper backbox lights
are back on.

gonna clearcoat my playfield.

got all the mylar from around the pops,slings
gun targets .

there are little circles of mylar over each
t800 eye and over the teeth.

im removing everything topside.
is there an easier way to remove the silver metal posts .

it takes me forever to get these out.

i take the locknut off and then since they are round i put
painters tape on them and then use taped pliers to twist out.

takes forever.
maybe im an idiot or something but there has to be an easier way.

i tried knocking on them but it seemed like i was gonna
break / mar something on playfield.

thx
