The general illumination on the right side of the playfield is out.
Right-side playfield GI out: a wire not seated in a new power board connector
Cause: One wire in a newly fitted connector on the power board had not been pushed fully into its housing.
Checks
- Jumper the dead string's wire to a working GI string's wire: if the lamps light, the fault is on the dead string's feed.
- Check each wire in recently replaced GI connectors is locked into its housing.
- Check the GI relays (one in the backbox and one under the playfield) for welded or burnt contacts.
Fix
- Push the loose terminal home until it locks, or recrimp it.
