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.
