Quoted from fujur:Kinda frustrating they are using cheaper and cheaper stuff on machines that are more and more expensive. Those surface-mount white LEDs are pure crap too.
so now I am getting every light board shipped to me to swap out one at a time until we find the bad one. I hope I can get this fixed!
ill keep this thread updated when I find the fix.
so i was sent some boards. packing slip says 8 boards. received 7. installed boards. lights a little better but only one gi on ls middle working and still having issues. ill bet the board that was not packed is the one i need. this is very frustrating.
the board not in box is 32 sw/lamp expansion board # 520-5322-10
trying to give as much info on this as i know somebody down the line is gonna have this issue with their wd pin.
Quoted from fujur:Do the lights go back to normal without that missing board (normal but without those lights obviously)? I wonder if the cable issue impacted the boards. That cable they had me replace was running to the light from a circuit board on the bottom back right of the cabinet (not back box). Could that be damaged?
I replaced that little board that mounts on on r/s of the pin where the black and red harness from that main light board goes to. my game full of gremlins so very bad now it does this:
ill keep you posted- 5 months and counting
Quoted from johngravenews:Arragh. This happened to me for the first time over the weekend. Firstly the cross bow lost power and the ball just kind of rolled out rather than being fired. Turned it off and it went back to normal. Then the next day the lights and inserts went disco crazy. Again turned it off and it's fine now but I'm guessing I'm going to have a problem soon
call them before it shorts out the entire game like mine. mine just died one day after playing it. I can believe they don't have a fix for this!!
Quoted from Gexchange:We had an issue with out showroom floor one. We changed out the Harness with the one Stern sent us and it fixed it right up. Good luck hope they can get you patched up

the red and black 2 wire harness? mine was toasted and replaced also wish it was only that!
Quoted from Gexchange:Yep I wonder if that frying did some damage to the IO board? Or the little Square board in the back of the back box.

game was shipped to a good friend for repair. very nice of him to volunteer. ill post update
Quoted from Kawydud:It is a Sam game. TWD does have light boards for the playfield, they are daisy chained together. The GI come of the center light board between the slings. What sucks is there is no protection when something is shorted in the GI, such as this light socket. Takes out the board as well.
Here is a picture of the board, GI connection is at the bottom right in the picture. The small chip that burns out is in the post above.IMG_0100.jpg
special thanks to kawydud to take time out of his schedule to fix my walking dead, cant thank him enough!!!!
sorry. no spare parts and no longer have the pin. i would call stern and speak to chas. i am sure they have this figured out by now. maybe they will ship you a board n/c.
Quoted from FlipFun:Hello robotron, you have a spare board 520-6937-00F then? The main led board with failing Component?
In general can you check your machine what is the led activity for that board when pin is in attract mode.
Also the node and switch board status led.
Mine the
-main led board marked node is flashing red fast
-The node controller board has a fast blinking orange led.
