My 6-slot marquee is very dim. Is it about to die or is there an adjustment I can make?

I don't know much about them myself, but I would first check the physical connections first. If nothing is wrong and they really are about to die then I guess check out this link http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99020. (Thanks Topher for this link)

Oops. My bad. I guess I should of asked whether or not they were the mini marquee lights or if it was the large marquee light. Dunno whether my first post helped or not.

They are the small marquee lights (6 each). The connection looks fine at the marquee. I wonder if its just a matter of adjustment on the board or replacing something?

They are all the same except one doesn't work all together.

Here's a picture of mine(originals)..Are yours dimmer then this?....As mine are pretty close to new.

Anyhow: there are no adjustments to these......If getting dull,Your bulbs are starting to die out though it's usually one by one....(I don't know how long it takes)

Got a pic..?

It's either replace them or.......if you want them brighter...Buy these.

NOTE:..If you have bulbs that work though dull they are sellable...

Oh yea,then they are almost dead..(still sellable though)

If you want them brand new again go for the replacement bulbs..
Note:..all your current hardware is needed ..all you do is remove-pull off-desolder the old bulbs and put on solder two wires each the new ones.
It's very easy..
