Fruit Machine Chat

Hi guys, got a new prob with lamps on
my global fruity, when I boot it up there is 6 lamps that stay on all the time while in play, the machine plays fine just that the lamps stay on, it started doing this when I changed a blown bulb.
Can anyone tell me what's happing and how to solve this please, nothing was touched or altered before hand.

See machine type and spec in my previous posts thanks.

Thanks

looks like you have a shorted transistor on your board,look at the common coloured wire through your lamps and trace it back to your lamp plug ,then to your board, the transistor could be burnt or even hot to touch

Thank you lee for the advice.
Knowing which lamp to change which I do,is it a matter of changing the lamp holder or is the fault likely to be on the lamp board?.

If it's a shorted transistor as Lee says, then the problem will be on the lamp board.

New lamp board the in this case or can I do a DIY job on it

thanks nude777

Can you solder is probably the first question?

Yes can solder, but what do I need to replace.

Thanks

Is it Epoch tech? If so, it's not going to be easy to fix due to the nature of the surface mount components used. Probably best to source a good working lamp board, preferably the improved Mark 2 version.

Solved: got a new lamp board and now it's back to normal, thanks for everyones input.
