Really need some help trying to figure out why I have no insert lights in TOTAN. Game plays fine, and I even get flickering GI lights. All LED points on the Power Driver board are lit as they should be per the manual. I've checked connectors, pushed in the ASIC chip, checked the ribbon cables between MPU and Power Driver board...still nothing. I measure the voltage at the 18V test point and it read 17.6.

Really would ask any fellow TOTAN owners to take a hi-res picture of the backbox and power driver board showing all connectors. I've found a couple of connectors not in the right spots (if the manual is correct).

Some of the connectors can be switched, they are pinned the same. And probably nothing to do with you losing power to the lamp matrix.

I'd measure all the voltage test points on the power driver board, may help you figure out what is wrong.

Lloyd...so some of the connectors that say they're Not Used in the manual could be used?

Quoted from jk2171:

Yes. Read the pinouts in the rear of the manual.

GI J105 and J106 can be switched.

Playfield Lamps can use J124, J125, J126, on the board they are pinned the same so any of the three can be used by any of the connectors to them.

I should point out too, if the game/insert lamps were working. And went out, and you didn't move any connectors right before they went out. Then your issue isn't a connector in the wrong spot.
