After moving the game, the flipper buttons stop working (flippers still fire in coil test), the mini playfield (Path of Adventure) dies, the game keeps searching for balls, and the trough and opto board LEDs are dark.

Flippers, mini playfield and optos dead with endless ball search: blown 12 V fuse

Cause: A blown fuse on the 12 V supply that feeds the optos and flipper switch circuits, plus a wire partly pulled out of a power driver board connector.

Checks

  • Check the opto board LED and use a phone camera to see whether the trough optos are lit.
  • Test every fuse with a meter out of its clip, including the 12 V supply fuses.
  • Look along the driver board connectors (J101/J102 area) for a wire hanging out of its housing.

Fix

  • Replace the blown fuse with the correct rating and push the loose pin back into its housing (repin it if it will not lock).
