During play the flippers, playfield and DMD shut off and only the backbox lights stay on. The LED on the audio/visual board is out. After a restart it may work for a few minutes, then die again.

Playfield, DMD and flippers go dead mid-game: burnt AV board power connector

Cause: The DC power connector J606 on the audio/visual board had a burnt end pin, so the board lost power intermittently. (WPC-95 boards don't have the older WPC fault points such as BR2 and C5.)

Checks

• Reseat the ribbon cables and check the board headers for discoloured pins.
• With the game on, press gently on J606; if the AV LED comes back, that connector is the fault.

Fix

• Replace the J606 header pins on the board and the plug with new housing and pins.
