F112 problem
« on: May 11, 2009, 03:52:00 PM »
When it rains it pours in my household  %.% I did an update on my RFM from v1.1 to v1.5 and whether connected or not fuse F112 is now blowing. It is part of one of the GI matrix A or B (I forget). I changed the fuse and turn on and see the led slowly fade out until the fuse is blown. The reason I mentioned the update is whether the wiring of the cable could have caused a short somewhere??? It is a 9pin serial cable and I figure if anything the comm port on the logic box would be dead and that's it. I'm hoping this problem at the very least is not related to the update.

So I'm asking where to start. I couldn't see any wires hanging off and I removed all the globes from the main mission pcb to see if that could have an effect, but not to be.

I'm in your hands as I don't know too much about pin2000.

Do a visual check of the offending GI "train" around the playfield - Look for something like a bent globe holder shorting out with something metal
