After replacing another coil, none of the pop bumpers fire, though the rest of the game plays.

All pop bumpers stopped working: check the board fuses behind the backglass

Cause: Blown solenoid fuses F3 and F4 on the backbox boards; the line fuse in the cabinet was fine.

Checks

  • With the game off, remove the backglass and test each board fuse with a meter (a visual check is not enough).
  • When fitting a new coil, check the diode is wired with the band on the power side and that a daisy-chained power wire was put back on the same lug.

Fix

  • Replace the blown fuses with the ratings listed in the manual.
  • If they blow again, look for a shorted coil, diode or driver transistor in that group.
