Rollergames - "WILLIAMS" display panel lighting acting strange. (fixed)

Only the WILLI letters on the display panel are lighting up, and they're flickering madly and somewhat dim.

The remaining three letters aren't lighting up at all.

Where would I begin looking? I've repaired all the burnt connectors I could find.

Have you replaced the pins on the board? Sounds like the plug is fine, but the pins themselves have cracked joints or aren't connected.
 
On mine only the ILLIAM lights will light up, but the S does flash. Haven't spent much time looking into it so if you figure it out, return here and let us know!
 
You know this is a game feature right? The Williams Letters are advanced by completing the left side 5 bank of stationery targets. Completing W-I-L-L-I-A-M-S starts a hurry up feature that can be awarded by shooting "The Pit" (the VUK kickout).

During attract mode, the lights should dance and animate.

The pins aren't burned, but I'll take the board out and reflow the solder to see if that helps.

I know. The AMS section of the board has never lit up since I brought it home, but I have completed those letters numerous times.

FIXED!!

I'm an idiot... I totally missed the obvious.

The IDC was plugged in the wrong way! But I can't really blame myself. It was like that when I brought it home. I discovered it when I unplugged the lamp board.
