Party Zone Relay 1 problem

[Didderly]

Hi Guy's & Girls, I have never asked a question on here so do not even know if I am in the right place a fellow Pinballer sent me the link (Tatty) On power up I get the GI flickering and when I go to start a game the relay 1 on the main board starts to click in and click out. I was wondering if anyone out there has a PZ that could email me some pic's of a few plugs regardless if they are baron...I need pics of plugs J137 / J133 / J134 / J206 / ,207,208,209.... Many thanks, Martin

I can take some pics for you but don't think I'll be able to do it before the weekend. Have you checked the manual for the wiring diagram?

If you don't have one you can download one from

http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1764

It'll show you the plugs and colour codes of all wiring.

not sure what you want the pics of those plugs for as non of them have any thing to do with the gi
206 207 208 209 are switch columbs and rows and coin door switches
137 134 133 are all controled lamps columbs and rows its pretty normal to have conectors not on these pins
if you have gi problems look at connectors 120 121 i think and also the one on the left bottom of driver board also look at the relay and also what controls it

Hi, Martin,

There are five general illumination circuits, or 'strings', on the Wpc hardware system used in this game. But none of them have any direct connection to the relay, which enables the flippers when a game is started (it completes the return side of the flipper circuits). The main 'power/driver' board doesn't have any processing ability of its own, it should just follow the controls (for solenoids, flashbulbs, controlled 'feature' lamps, the gen. illumination strings and flipper relay) sent from the cpu board. Could the short ribbon cable between the two boards be slightly loose?
