Theatre of Magic Bally, 1995

Hey all,
I was removing all the GI 44s/89s in anticipation of replacing them with LEDs. I went to test a few LED bulbs to see what would look best and it looks like the entire left side GI from flippers to back is not lighting up. Right side, all insert flashers, and backbox are all on and working. Any ideas before I dig in? I should say at one point halfway down removing on the right side, one of the sockets rubbed on the metal support bracket and the whole line dimmed out but came back on. Any help is much appreciated. Obviously, I'm new here.

Fuse. Lower left side of the power driver board are the 5 GI fuses. You can sometimes visually see which one is blown, but you might have to pull one end and test continuity. Look at connectors J115, J120 and J121. If those look brown, they're probably the next thing you will have to address.

My guess is that it's a fuse right now. Look at the fuse sticker in the backbox and only replace with that amperage.

Make sure that you are only replacing the bulbs with the game off, otherwise this is going to be a common theme for you.

I was hoping for a fuse solution. I posted this before I even looked. That's all it was. Thanks!
