None of the CPU controlled lamps work.

No CPU controlled lamps light

Cause: No DC lamp supply: fuse, bridge, an open T relay contact, or a shorted driver Q2 holding the T relay in.

Checks

  • With the game on, look for 6-8 V DC at the lamp sockets, on both lugs; power on only one lug means a bad bulb.
  • Check the bottom cabinet 5 A slow-blow lamp fuse and the bridge nearest the copper ground strap.
  • Check that the T relay is not energized and its actuator plate is still on its frame.
  • Test driver Q2.

Fix

  • Replace the fuse, bridge, Q2, or refit the relay plate.
