Both flippers are a bit weak and lose most of their power for a few seconds during multiball, when the magnets, crane and shaker are all active. One flipper later stopped altogether.

Last Action Hero flippers go weak during multiball: replacement flipper board

Cause: The original flipper board, which had already been repaired once, was faulty.

Checks

  • Check the flipper coils and end-of-stroke switches first.
  • Check the 50 V flipper fuses and clips, the bridge rectifier and filter capacitor, and the flipper enable relay on the CPU board.
  • Measure the flipper voltage while the fault happens.

Fix

  • Replace the flipper board with an aftermarket replacement board.

Unplug the game before changing boards.
