Re: Tech: DM - alternative for pin 6 on J120 connector

If you do this, after working for a short period of time (1-5 minutes),
you will most likely blow the GI fuse for the circuit that you are
overloading. It's possible that it isn't a board problem at all. If
the GI input voltage is not reaching the driver board, you can have
this same problem. Check for a bad or burned connection down at the
transformer. Should be a molex connection with all yellow wires in it.
Putting a meter on the inputs will also tell you if the voltage is
there or not.

Fix the problem, don't work around it.

I have a newbie dumb question so please be gentle.

I'm having intermittent problems with pin #6 on the J120 connector of my
Demo Man. The problem is on the board because the wire is fine and
connecting the wire directly to pin 6 on the board gives no power to the GI
lights on the lower left playfield. When I put the wire on pin 5 it lights
up the GI lights correctly. This got me thinking. If 6 is giving me
problems, can I connect the GI wires for 5 and 6 together and drive them
both from pin 5 on the board?

Cheers
