Just this weekend my Playfield General Illumination and my Backbox General Illumination became very dim. I went intothe test/adj modes and it is set to the highest illumination right now but it WILL adjust even dimmer down to totally dark just not brighter.

Thinking it is a Power Supply or Driver but have not dug into it too deep yet. Has anyone seen this before on a WPC game? If someone knows the fix give me a shout! (Machine has all LED GI)
 
Lower left area of the power driver board, check the GI connectors for burn. If present, you'll need to replace the connector and pins on the board. If you wiggle the wires and the GI comes on or gets brighter, you'll need to replace them, it will only get worse.

Common problem, there is too much current going through the connectors than what they are rated for.

LTG :)
 
I can take pictures for ya if you need.

I had an issue with a coin door light grounding out that caused me months of aggravation. I never thought to check the coin door lights >.<
