Damn GI....
Toadie:
So after a few weeks of playing and tweaking, things were going well until tonight. I was replacing a #47 bulb on one of the top bumpers with an LED 47 and when I twisted the bulb the metal underneath hit a screw and shorted out my GI track. Now none of my playfield GI's are working and interestingly enough, none of fuses blew.
Honestly I wish they had but I tested them all and they all work. There was the typical electronics smell after the short but I'm at a loss. All the other lights work and all the game functions, I just have no GI.
Thoughts?
Toadie:
I think it's the new rectifier board. I'm not getting a voltage off of TP4 but I didn't blow a fuse which is odd
ChadTower:
If it's the repro board then call the seller. They should be able to advise.
Silverball84:
What style rectifier board do you have? I always rebuild the original boards with more reliable parts. Probably number one thing on early solid state pins that fails are cold solder joints. Primarily at header pins. I would isolate your power supply and check for GI voltage. If the voltage is missing and the fuse ohms out good then a component on the rectifier board has most likely failed.

What game is this? SPACE INVADERS?
If so isn't GI in this game AC voltage? So why does it need RECTIFIED?
Have you possibly damaged the transformer winding for your GI?
Are you absolutely sure fuse F5 is good?
