Favorite Pinball Machine
Lost in Space
Hi There,

I bought a lost in space pinball machine a couple years back and every once in awhile it requires a little maintenance. So far, I've been able to fix it, but now the dot matrix display will not come up and the machine will not run at all because of it.

The cabinet all lights up, but will not run.

I've replaced the fuses in the board, but to no avail.

I'm attaching some pictures of the board.

If there is anyone that has tips for me, or perhaps any knowledge that will help me, it'll be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you!

Thank you pinballdaveh,

I ended up finding a replica board for a really good price, which fixed the machine up.

Now I have two boards. I'm going to still try and fix the first one so I can get some practice repairing.

Again, thank you for the tips. I checked the fuses, so now I'm gonna take the voltage readings.
after checking or replacing fuses, taking voltage readings on boards is usually next.
