Pressing the flipper buttons does nothing, yet every flipper coil fires in coil test and the button switch blades look fine.
Flipper buttons stop working but coils fire in test: Fliptronic board switch plugs
Cause: The Fliptronic II board reads the cabinet flipper buttons and the EOS switches through two small connectors at its lower right. One was not seated properly or had a wire pulled out.
Checks
- Check the flipper buttons in switch test.
- Look at the two small connectors on the lower right of the Fliptronic board (cabinet switches and EOS switches): both must be fully seated with no loose wires.
Fix
- Reseat the connector and repair any wire that has broken out of its pin.
