After a flipper rebuild, one flipper moves slowly with no snap while the other is fine. The mechanism is aligned and the EOS switch is new.
Flipper slow with no snap after a rebuild: EOS lead on the wrong coil lug
Cause: One EOS switch lead had been soldered to the wrong lug on the coil.
Checks
- Compare the coil and EOS wiring with the other flipper and the manual's flipper diagram.
- Measure the coil's power and hold windings.
Fix
- Move the EOS lead to the correct coil lug.
