No voltage reaches one flipper coil and its fuses test good.

Solid state flipper has no power though fuses are good

Cause: The TIP36 power transistor for that flipper on the flipper board has failed (common even when it looks fine), or a TIP42 is broken.

Checks

  • Diode-test each flipper board TIP36: about 0.5-0.7 V.

Fix

  • Replace the failed TIP36.
