    Default Yamasa Penguin Paradise Reel lights and Sound went out

    Hello everyone,
    As it says above, my machine lost the reel lights and sound. I can see a nick in the ribbon cable near the hinge, so i'm guessing the nicked wires got shorted to ground. I've tried reseting and changing the odds. The machine runs and plays, but no sound and none of the reels light up. I'm guessing I fried either the main board or the sound and lights board, but the ribbon cable that is nicked goes to the main board, so it may be time to part it out vs fix. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Hello oldeja and welcome to the group

    Perhaps you can patch the cable. Also disconnect and re-seat both ends of the cable in case one end pulled loose.

    Hi and thanks for the reply. The conductor in the wires is intact, only the insulation got nicked. That is why I'm thinking i shorted those lines to ground.
