My pinball just stopped could it be a fuse? i havent had time to look at it but no NOTHING about repairs onthem so i need all the help i can get....any ideas? It worked perfect untill 2 days agao....HElP!!!!
 
so your saying the displays work and lights in the back glass and that's it?

Hopefully just a fuse.... But you could have blown something on the main board..

Did the game do anything strange last time it worked perfectly? any noises or poping or reseting?
 
before it went crazy i kept lifting for over a hour up and down the main board trying to get one of the flipper working so maybe it is a loose connection....lets hope
 
Welcome to the wonderful world of Gottlieb!;)

So, just some of the GI lights come on? I would start at the power supply and make sure you're getting around 5.10vdc. Also wiggle the top and bottom connector of the power supply. If things change, you have to reflow the solder on the header pins.

Not sure on Gladiators , but if the MPU has the little piggyback board on there, try pressing it down. If things change, that board will eventually need reflowing (not easy)!

Hope this helps!
