After the playfield was removed and refitted, both flippers come up and stay energized as soon as the game is switched on.
Both flippers lock on at power-up after a teardown: reseat the flipper connector
Cause: A flipper connector that wasn't fully seated after reassembly.
Checks
- Check the flipper coil diodes.
- Go over every connector unplugged during the teardown.
Fix
- Reseat the flipper connectors (the right flipper one here).
