None of the opto switches work, including the flipper buttons and drop targets.
Indiana Jones: no optos work, check J905 on the Fliptronics II board
Cause: Connector J905 on the Fliptronics II board carries the ground for the flipper opto boards and the drop target board; if it is loose, missing or offset by a pin the optos lose ground.
Checks
- Check J905 is fully seated on the right pins.
- Check its pins and wires for damage.
Fix
- Reseat or repair J905.
