One flipper does nothing. Its coil had burnt and the sleeve melted, but after a new coil and cleaning the cabinet button switch the flipper is still dead.

Right flipper still dead after fitting a new coil: bad EOS switch

Cause: The end-of-stroke (EOS) switch on that flipper was faulty.

Checks

  • With the game on and a game started, measure for about 48 V DC at the banded (diode) side of the coil lug to ground.
  • If voltage is present, follow the ground side of the circuit, including the flipper relay on the solenoid driver board.
  • Inspect the EOS switch contacts and check it opens and closes cleanly; replace it if the contacts are burnt or pitted.

Fix

  • Replace the faulty EOS switch (and repin the solenoid driver board connectors if they are loose).
