Assuming you have actually checked the bulbs are good
The PPB board has 4 fuses for GI. It's as simple as power goes in to a fuse and then comes back out on J5
So you need to identify if you have an entire GI circuit out, or if there is a break partway in a chain.
Pull one GI fuse out at a time. You should see some bulbs go out. If you pull fuse out and you don't see a difference, then you know that entire GI circuit is out. Please take the fuse out with the power off unless you are absolutely 100% confident that you can take the fuse out without shorting out anything else. Definitely don't use any metal instruments to do it.
If all 4 fuses result in some bulbs going out then you probably have a break in the chain on one of the circuits. Follow the GI wires under the playfield from where they are not working to the nearest point that they are looking for a break in the wiring.
If you have a whole bad GI circuit, then it is going to most likely be a cracked solder joint under the related fuse holder, or bad solder on J5, or a bad connection to the psu
F1 fuse had no difference when removed. (Playfield)
F2 fuse half the BB lights went out. (Backbox Door & Speaker Panel)
F3 fuse no difference when removed. (Playfield & Coin Door)
F4 the other half of the BB lights went out. (Backbox Door)
All bulbs ok and no connectors getting hot or look burnt. also tried the PPB from my hook to see if it was the board. Still the same.
Have you checked the continuity from each pin in the connector to each corresponding lamp holder to see if there are any breaks?
I'll give you a proper hand tracing it out when I get some spare time, it shouldnt be too hard
Issues I'm still having.
No GI on PF & Coin door lights.
No VUK, Ball Launch, Left & Right Ball Scoop. Will have to trace the wires from J8 on PPB
Everything else ok.
PPB Board fine as it works in my hook with no faults. (Had to replace a couple of TIP36c)

Have you checked wether the gi connector is toasty? And the associated fuse?
I traced it down to the ball launch diode not working changed that now i have VUK, Ball Launch, Left & Right Ball Scoop Was my own fault as when i changed the coil i put the wires the wrong way round
Just the GI & Coin door to solve.
Can finally have a play
