Has anyone had any issue with feedback when connecting a sub? I seem to get a constant hum despite where my crossover is set. This by all means could be a problem with my sub and not the machine. Just curious if anyone else has hooked up a sub to WOZ.

Quoted from tonycip:

could be a ground loop hum. try not grounding the sub. try a cheater plug and see if that helps?

Will do, thanks! Is there any other way to fix a grounding hum without using a cheater plug?

Hey guys, I'm sure this question has been covered many times over, but I've been out of the scene for a few years. When I purchased my WoZ years back, I contacted JJP support about my light boards lighting up and flashing colors rapidly and essentially freezing in that state. I was told at the time it was a lose connection on one of the boards. I've since checked every connection on all the light boards and they were fine. But coming back to the pinball scene I noticed there is now a WoZ Lighting Upgrade kit for $800 (linked below and out of stock). Is this the fix for that issue and was this not covered by JJP for original buyers? I wasn't sure if there was some communication that went out saying this was covered under warranty or something.

Quoted from DwightEisenhower:

I ran into this issue and thought that the only viable solution was buying the lighting upgrade kit and spending a lot of hours on the project. However, I was able to isolate the GI board that was causing the malfunction by going through the LED test menu. When you select the culprit board, it will cause the lighting abnormality you describe in your post.
They can be purchased here:

Make sure you have the right voltage though.
Takes about 5-10 minutes to install. It's not a permanent fix as has been mentioned multiple times on this thread but I have found that it is far easier and cheaper.

Quoted from adol75:

I kept replacing the GIs board which was quick and cheap, but then one of my big boards died and replacing it was 300$, so I went with the 2.0 light kit and have lived happily ever after

So you guys are both saying that I could replace the bad board, but the root problem still exists and the only long-term fix is the $800 kit? If so, that makes sense. If you don't mind me asking, what is the root cause that causes the issue with the boards? I appreciate the responses, thank you!

I'm a little frustrated my initial inquiry to JJP years ago was brushed off when there was a known issue. But, considering this is Pinside, I'll skip the rant as I'm sure it's been expressed many times over.
