GI works but no feature (CPU-controlled) lamps come on.
None of the CPU-controlled lamps light
Cause: Blown lamp phase fuse FU4 or FU5, so a lamp phase is missing.
Checks
- Check FU4 and FU5 (8 A slow-blow).
- Measure TP6 and TP7 on the power supply for about 11 VAC each.
Fix
- Replace the blown fuse and find what shorted on that phase.
Unplug the game before pulling fuses or working on the power supply; the transformer side carries line voltage.
