ok is it just my luck or is there a common problem with DE games? right now i have Hook,Batman,and LW3 all of them have same issue,plug on power supply brd. cn8 controls lights,gets extremly hot and has melted the plug.is there some kind of fix? i have even tried to remove half of the bulbs,no change.
 
Half of my DE games have needed to have this fixed too. I would suggest replacing the header pins as well as the burnt/melted connector. If you can use the molex pin type connector and not the IDC one. I assume that the better the connection to the header pins the less build up of resistance there will be (heat). Not sure how much it will help, but I have been switching all my DE games to about 50% leds. Haven't had them in long enough to tell if they are helping lower the draw from the GI and controlled lamps.

If you just replace the connector and the header pins are old you will be doing it again and again. Speaking of I need to go get some solder and do this exact fix to my JP.

Good luck, that connector is a problem spot for sure.
