With LED bulbs in the flashers, some flashers flicker every time a flipper button is pressed.
LED flashers blink when the flipper buttons are pressed
Cause: From Big Guns on, the coil diodes moved onto the auxiliary power driver board and four circuits (solenoids 3A, 4A, 6A, 7A) run from the 50 V flipper supply. A little current leaks into them when the flippers fire, enough to light an LED.
Fix
- Fit diodes at those four coils and remove D3, D4, D6 and D7 from the auxiliary power driver board (see the modification procedure).
