A flipper does not work at all.
Jurassic Park, Last Action Hero, Tales from the Crypt: flipper dead from its EOS switch
Cause: On these games the normally closed EOS switch must be closed at rest. If it is dirty, misadjusted, or has a broken blade or wire, the flipper is dead. Only the 520-5033-03 and the 520-5070-00 flipper boards behave this way.
Checks
- Bridge the EOS switch with a clip lead; if the flipper then works, the switch is at fault.
Fix
- Clean, adjust or repair the EOS switch.
- Or fit the updated boards (520-5076-00 for 520-5033-03, 520-5080-00 for 520-5070-00), or modify the old boards per service bulletin 54.
