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.
