My crystal ball just stopped working, and it seems that my throne room green lighting is not working either (unless I’m imagining things, I thought that was supposed to be lit as well). I read through prior related searches, but those didn’t fix the problem. The crystal ball is not dim like some have reported, it’s just not on.
- made sure card is connected on back of crystal ball.
- molex connector next to crystal ball looks secure. (Question: why is there a 10 pin- 2 rows of 5 - male connector and a 5 pin female white molex connector to attach? Just seems odd).
- connections on I/O board look good.
- all fuses check out.

Does anyone have a couple tips on what to look at next?

Thanks! Michael

Quoted from LTG:

Two different circuits.
Throne room - check for 12 volts at it's connector, it is possible the LED strip or it's connector is bad.
Crystal ball - reseat SD card and connector, reseat cable for it to motherboard.
LTG : )

Throne room - has 12 volts at connector, problem turned out to be the LED strip was bad. Replaced and good as new.

Crystal ball - reseated SD card and connector. 5 volts tested at the connector. Still not working. Any thoughts as to what to try next?

Oh, and there’s always the human error component, my playfield GI and insert lights are now a
Out, and you cannot start a game. Checked all the fuses and F2 is out on the I/O board. It’s a 2A 32V slow blow mini-blade fuse. Couldn’t find them online, pinball life doesn’t carry them either. Does anyone know where to get these.

Thanks! Michael

So I haven’t fixed the crystal ball yet, everything else is working. I see the crystal ball OLED screen online for $45, $119 on JJPs site. Any reason I need to buy it from JJP, is there some secret sauce in theirs?

Thanks, Michael
