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!

On the "Internet Pinball Database" site, they cover this machine in
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.........- Hide quoted text -

Hey thanks Jim! Thanks for the pointers! Everything works on it except
that wild backlight feature. I haven't gotten into the backbox yet, I
just got this pin last week. I took the p/f apart yesterday and
cleaned everything and got ALL those dang lights working. I'll check
your suggestions tonight. Thanks again.... Dennis..........- Hide quoted text -

Jim, after reading my lame ass post, I wasn't clear on what DIDN'T
happen. The back light display, where the picture disapears and you
can see the computer parts, that's what didn't happen. Everything
works perfect! Thanks again. Dennis
