Everything works except the flippers.
Flippers dead though fuses and EOS switches are good
Cause: Power for the flipper relay reaches it over short brown wire links soldered between header pins beside the relay; if one breaks or its joint goes cold, the flippers never enable.
Checks
- Inspect the two brown jumper wires on the back of the solenoid driver board.
Fix
- Resolder or replace the jumper wires.
