I have been making the change to some led's in my whirlwind.
Several were burnt out (original lights). There are currently 3 lights that will not light up. And it appears to be something to do with the actual socket that the lights sit in. I have put in working lights into that particular 'hole' and no luck.
I did also have a drop style target quit working so I went in and saw a ground wire broke off. To my surprise it was fairly easy to solder with the playfield lifted all the way up, almost leaning on the backglass (though it won't actually reach). I found it very handy that there was an outlet inside the cab that would work while the game was turned off. (first pin repair for me, lol)
Anyway, I will have to take pictures I suppose. This strip of lights is up where the extra ball is and houses about 6 consecutive lights. There don't appear to be the same ground wires and wiring coming from it. It's an idc connector.
I guess I need to check for continuity throughout that section to see if I have it huh?
find where I am not getting a connection?
