Flippers stop after the playfield was raised; the flipper board below has broken parts.

Flipper board torn up after raising the playfield

Cause: The raised playfield tipped off its slide rails and dropped into the cabinet onto the board. The SR1 and SR2 transistors on their heat sinks stick out furthest and are often torn off.

Checks

• Inspect the flipper board for snapped SR1/SR2 transistors, heat sinks and lifted pads.

Fix

• Repair or replace the board.
• When raising the playfield, keep it straight on the rails, and avoid using the prop rod; if you do, make sure the playfield cannot slip off.
