So out of nowhere my judge dredd started shooting balls out continuously. I figured it was a trough issue so got to the boards and the green board #A-17982 gad the clip attached to it but both the black wire and the grey and yellow wire had severed in half. Looking at them it looks like somebody had hooked into the connecter several times and it slowly cut threw. I thought I connected them back together and tried it again on a extra brand new board but now the board is getting really hot after just a couple seconds. I am still really new to these fixes so if somebody can explain the proper way to connect these wires together and I am not sure how to know which wire goes to which part in the clip. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Oh and now when I turn the machine on the sniper tower keeps popping and so does the left ball plunger where the middle launcher is.

I just realized that now my trough sensor boards are not getting power. Does this seem to be a fuse problem?

LTG alrighty. I did what you said and sure enough fuse f-116 had blown. I replaced that double checked everything and now everything is working and back to normal except the resistors now are getting Hot on the new board.

Is there something I can check? Can it be the wires or the little that the wires slide into? Should I just buy a new clip? Or is it sounding like something else?

The fuse that I replaced is cool though. I thought i maybe had the wires backwards so I switched them and that was when everything else went wrong and I goes I blew the fuse but I think that is all it did.

LTG underlord i did replace the board so that is new. The connector isn’t the best so I’m just going to order one to be on the safe side. The old one and new both get the same temperature. It’s noticeably hot but it doesn’t burn me or anything. I can just feel that it’s warm. I honestly did not know they get hot so I really appreciate that info! Should I turn the machine on and let it be on awhile and just see if it gets any hotter? I guess I might just be over reacting to the temp.

underlord now your speaking my language! thank you so much! I’m going to look into the better trough boards. I just had ordered this one from Marco a year back but ended up never using it. Thanks again!
