GI out on Banzai Run and later: burnt interconnect connector 2J6
Cause: The GI connectors on the interconnect board overheat. The input connector 2J6 (yellow wires) is the most likely; the outputs 2J7 (backbox), 2J9 (playfield) and 2J10 (cabinet and coin door) can also burn.
Checks
- Check the GI fuses on the interconnect board.
- Inspect 2J6, 2J7, 2J9 and 2J10 for discoloured pins, burnt housings and cracked header joints.
Fix
- Replace the header pins, housing and female pins of the burnt connector.
