Little help with a starwars data East pin

[Brettster]

A friend of mine has a data East starwars pin table
It has a problem with the lights that light up the board above the LED screen
Half the lights do not light up, these ones are normally on all the time I think
There are other bulbs that flash with play field events and they work ok

I have checked all the fuses they seem ok. But pinball is not something I know anything about

It seems to be smaller of the bulbs that are not working , we found one dead bulb, but a substitute known working one didnt help

It'll probably be the connector on the ppb. Check for burnt connectors. Also check where the connector plugs into the power supply board hazy from memory but maybe CN5 or 7??!! Not sure. Or finally check the z connector from the back box to the board,
They're famous for burning up.

I haven't got a manual to hand but you can download it for free on ipdb

Thanks for the advise
I have uploaded some photos which may help?

couldn't see any burnt wires or plugs

Difficult to tell looking at the pics but from memory the back box gi comes from the connector on the top left board the one running vertically to the right of the relay!. It runs from there to the ppb beneath then out to the back box. If you can't see a toasty connector and the fuses are good, I'd be re flowing solder on the gi header pins and looking for wires off the daisy chain in the back box

Thanks again
will try to trace the wires back to the pcb and see where they go

deff burnt connectors
the pcb on the left top is the one
the connectors with the yellow wires next to the silver cooling plate,are the ones
wiggle them you will see that the lights wil come on
repair it and put good leds in them
good luck

very fun pin have the same
