After a playfield restoration everything worked except the number-of-players lamps on the backglass, which had worked before.
Number-of-players backglass lamps dead after playfield work: reseat the MPU plugs
Cause: A connector on the CPU (MPU) board had been disturbed and was no longer making good contact.
Checks
- Check every plug on the MPU board is fully seated and on the right header.
Fix
- Reseat the plugs on the MPU board (with the game off).
