Makes sense i guess, i traced 1 wire back to the light board from its end which was a bulb that does light through another 6/7 that dont and then replaced it with a new wire direct to a failing bulb with no joy.
Only thing i dont understand is how can the final bulb light up at the end of the run and the bulbs on the same line before this dont.
The final bulb was 1 of 3 jackpot bulbs(other 2 have diff feeds) and then it skips £20 ,£15, and £12 which all light and goes to £10,£8,£6,£4 and i think £3 none of which light then passes through a snake which also dont light and then runs to the board.
My wires are purple and yellow and im assuming its the purple ones as they are far more random than the yellow.
If it is the board is it the scorp 5 or the light, is there a way i can test the board and maybe replace parts?

I also thought exactly the same but when ive looked i have working bulbs and none working bulbs on the same lines, thats the bit i dont understand if it were the board surely all the bulbs on that line would be out, but that does not seem to be the case, ill add a few pics tomorrow.
A few of the bulbs that are out have the line ending on them but in every case there are bulbs higher up the line working, could it still be the board if it has working lights on the same line?

Its a scorpion 5 board on it, relatively new apparently , not sure what the light board is, i just dont understand how lights are out next to working ones with the same wiring, theres 2 wires a purple and a yellow and they all come from the light board, but 2 plugs do take wires to the main board where im guessing the commands come from, i just dont understand how removing a holder and then rewiring it has made it not work, its a simple enough install, steep learning curve this is, how can i test for blown parts with a voltmeter will there be any signs on the board?
Forgot to mention whenever i have tested the bulbs and voltage i have made sure all lights were illuminated and not strobing, i was concious of that.
