Williams laser ball fully working new interconnects etc.

  Was ready to go when one row I lamps locked on.   Removed the driver board replaced the faulty transistor and replaced now when u turn it on most of the coils pulse. 

   I need to pack it up I need the space desperately but can't until it's working grrrrrrrr

Ive had a similar problem and am trying for the life of me to remember what it was...

make sure you havent got some solder splash on the coil control IC... somewhere along the line you are allowing a path to ground on the coils. because its more than 1 firing then suspect the controlling IC... this could be faulty or maybe allowing a path to ground via a cap thats close.. hence the pulsing... but chances are that its solder splash... SOMEWHERE
