Re: Sorta silly question about my Genesis.....

What is portrayed in the video is how the game works from the factory. There could be several things why your game isn't doing this. First, are all of your flasher bulbs present and tested good around the PF window and across the top of the head? Secondly, are the two aux. lamp (chaser light) boards installed and plugged in? These are located on the inner side of the board mounted perpendicular to the PF under the PF. Third, there is a relay (marked relay "B") under the PF that activates the flasher lamp circuits. Try activating it manually to see if the lamps light. If this doesn't work, the contacts may need cleaned with a flexstone. Fourth, your wiring could be bad from the B relay to the transistor on the drive board that activates the relay. Equally, your wiring to the lamps or the incoming 24vdc wiring could be bad. Finally, the transistor (Q14) on the driver board that activates the B relay could be bad.

Hope this helps!

detail. There is a file call "Life Force Revealed" where you can watch
what happens when all the targets are hit. You can see the backlite
flashing really bright, so much you see the guts of the machine. Mine
didn't do it. It revealed the body inside the p/f, but didn't go bat
crap like the video file showed. Something wrong with mine? Or is this
some cool upgrade/mod that someone did. Thanks! Dennis.........
