There's an AUX driver board under the play field that controls the GI if I remember correctly
That controls the GI lighting 47977c4f094b779f84b75ffa7d2d4c09.jpg

Check the pins for dry joints
I'm casting my mind back as to stupid things I've done that could have caused the GI to stop working. The biggest culprit... Accidentally touching an alan key between a flipper switch and the metal housing of the score board under the maze. Sparked and I assume blew something. I've checked fuses but all seems fine.

Normally a dedicated bulb for the GI flasher (and Solenoid Expander) nearby to check too :thumbs:
 
U1 is an optoisolator. My bet is Q1 (Tho i know nothing about these, and for the cost if it's suspect i'd just replace both)
 
you won’t get a continuity beep across that,try measuring its resistance instead.

your problem is probably a loose connection or bad header pin. .

I fear more so something has blown/fried. I accidentally touched an alan key between a flipper switch and the under playfield scoreboard metal housing. Sparked and GI went on vacation [emoji51] idiot

For the GI you likely have the GI Flasher PCB that has no Q1 (different to pic above) but connects to the Triac mounted on the power chassis. I have had U1 fail that took out the GI. In my case the machine had two GI Flashers (one for pf, one for bb) and I swapped them over to troubleshoot that the issue was on the GI flasher.
 
Folks. Is there an award for idiot of the year here on the forum? Load lamp beside the aux driver had blown. How did I not know about that [emoji85] back in business though. Thanks for all the advice, I just know you guys didn't mention that because it's such a school boy error not to check 3d0d97a6fb680eb0ecb743bb5c5aeead.jpg
