Data East Back Box Half Lit

[Solar Sailer]

Prepping a LW3 for sale and half the GI is out on the back box.
I've checked the wiring brown/white to the PPB. Check the fuse. Swapped out the PPB too.

Unless both PPB boards are shot. 1 is the DE original and the other a Rotten dog.
Help would be appreciated.

TIA

Check for burnt connector on the power board . CN1 maybe ? Top right side

I've just put in a new xpin power board today

Mind you the wiring looks a bit suspect actually.

More than likely connectors.. check continuity between holders not working and backbox connectors, then check where the voltage dies the fact you've got half of them on is a good thing. Where it dies jumper it to a working bulb and see does it bring it back. Even a dodgy bulb holder or solder joint will kill the rest of em after that point

I had this with JP. It was a fuse, there's a fuse for the different GI lines.

It wasn't where I'd expect it. Just incase you've not checked the basics

Yep

Thanks everyone. It was the Brown wire at the connector on to the power board.
