A flipper does not move at all.

Fliptronic flipper dead: check the button first

Cause: The cabinet flipper button switch is not closing.

Checks

  • In the switch edges test, press the button; its dot among the flipper grounded switches should turn into a square.
  • If nothing shows, ground the button contacts with a test lead and watch the display again.
  • Ground the button input at J805 (test point 6) to check the flipper board input.

Fix

  • Clean and adjust the button contacts, or replace the switch.
