Mid-game the flippers stop and the display shows one permanently lit vertical line; after a restart the game keeps launching balls. GI and controlled lamps are fine.

Indiana Jones: flippers die, one display line lit, balls keep launching

Cause: The +12 V supply has failed, usually fuse F116 or bridge BR5. Part of the display power comes from it and it powers the optos, hence the dead flippers and the trough firing.

Checks

  • Check F116 and BR5.
  • If 12 V is good, unplug the ribbon to the Fliptronics and sound boards, leaving just the display controller, and see if the display clears to show the error report.

Fix

  • Replace the fuse or bridge rectifier.
