elvira and the party monsters GI issue

[The seeker]

HI guys im sure its just a cable but i'm missing lights on the right hand side they are ones under the plastics but not under the play filed theres about 5 of them under frankensitne that dont flash, Anyone shed any light on this? ( excuse the pun )

Have you fitted new lamps in them , could be that

Check the fuse and the connector on the interconnect board in the backbox. The long thin board at the bottom with a ton of connectors on it. The GI connector is often burned up on these - its on the right hand end of the board as you look at it. Look for signs of overheating. Give it a wiggle ...do the lights come on? Reseat it ...do lights come on?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but had another issue with Elvira ok so this time I took a look at all the connectors on back box and all seemed find then I noticed this …. See pic looks like it has seen better days , must add for awhile the play fields lights ( all of them ) seem a little dull, do you guys think this is the culprit and could also be the culprit for my missing g i lights on the right of the machine ?? Is this an easy part to get hold of? Thanks chaps

GI Relay Board. Burning up is a common failure. There's these from "Big Daddy Enterprises".
I can't see 'em on their site.

Hi folks back again quick question the molex connector on the other end is little brown but on the whole seems to be fine do i need to repinthe whole thing or will i be able to just plug into the new big dayyy go board when it arrives thanks

Upload a pic, I'd probably live with the original molex unless is it really looks FUBAR. If it seems nice and snug when the new one arrives I'd probably leave it.....
