One step forward, 2 steps back. No, not the Paula Abdul song, my Hyperball 
Huge thanks fo Todd (EagleTG) for coming over to assist witht he rebuilding of the power supply board. I can't thank him enough. He got the board cleaned up nicely, and we got it re-installed. This is where things went south.
Here's the fixed board:
First off, I know the left fuse is incorrect, one was blown and we put that in there temporarily for testing purposes.
But anyway, here's what happens now. With everything hooked up, when you turn the power switch on:
1) The auger runs continually
2) The "Energy Center" playfield flashers lock on
3) The Player 1 and Player 2 flashers lock on
4) Random lights on playfield stay lit
Here's 2 photos of the machine on and the lights that are locked on:
What the hell???!!! NONE of this should have been effected by the fix we did on the power supply board. At least I don't think so.
I guess what I am unsure of really is if these problems existed previously, and the hacks to the board covered them up, or if something we did screwed up something else.
Anyone have this happen? I am sure EagleTG may have some things to add, just geting started with ideas as to what may have happened.
I don't really want to switch the boards with my Black Knight in case something on the board itself is the culprit, no sense damaging 2 machines
Thanks in advance!
