Flash Gordon bug Fixed  #*#


After taking the driver board out and checking for dry solder joints, I  re,flowed the solder on all the pins on the driver board and the back of the relay, checked all the connectors as well.
Re installed the board, Coin door coil still clicking away, no change,,  !@#
Had a closer look at the CPU and lamp driver boards, checked all the connectors,, found that each of the boards only had one screw holding it (Earth problem 1.)
Then I discovered that the ground braid from the cabinet was not properly attached with the braid from the back box. (Earth Problem 2.)
I rectified both problems,,  So now the machine has been on for an hour and the fault has gone, so it was a ground issue after all....


Yay,,, #*#
