I have noticed that some bulbs on the playfield and coin door are not lighting up. These lights worked about three weeks ago. I tried changing the bulbs and that did not work.
Any ideas what would cause the lights not to work? I have a Taxi machine. I did turn on the bell through the game adjustment menu. It's pretty cool to hear a bell ring during game play, but I am not sure if that caused certain lights to go dark.
Any help is appreciated. This is my first pinball so I am a novice at pinball repair.
It could be a transistor. It's possible they are all on the same one. Do you have a manual? In the manual it will show which matrix of lights are on what transistor.
