WOZ Crazy Lights Issue

My buddy has a wozle he is selling and his lights are acting crazy during game play. They all randomly change colors quickly. Once the game or ball ends, the colors will scroll correctly. In attract mode the lights appear fine. I have a video but didn’t mess with his game.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Same as a bad board. One isn't passing data through. Assuming no loose connectors or loose wire in a connector.

Thanks for reply Lloyd. But they work correctly at attract mode. Is that still a bad board? Thanks! I have a video if that helps.

Board not passing data right or loose connector or loose wire in a connector.

Reseat the light USB cable at the I/O board.

Pinphila - Did you ever get this fixed? I am having the same issue and a couple of days ago with the help of Lloyd found that the connectors are bad. I have 4 to 8 lights that will randomly change color during the game and then like you said will fix themselves (for the most part) after a ball drains and the game goes into it's post ball light show. In messing with the connectors it fixed the problem...unfortunately only temporarily. So it is either bad/loose connectors or broken solder on the pins. I haven't gotten into the solder yet so wondering if you found anything else that fixed it to a greater degree?

Pinphila LTG - Does anyone know where to get more of the data cables that connect the G.I. lights? I want to jump past some boards for testing purposes but the cords are too short.
