Flippers seem dead, weak, or report a bad EOS switch, and the flipper opto boards seem to be at fault.

Weak or dead flippers from failing LM339s on the Fliptronics board

Cause: Failed or leaky LM339 comparators U4 and U6 on the Fliptronics II board (Fliptronics through WPC-S). On WPC-95 these chips are on the CPU board at U25 and U26.

Checks

  • Swap the two flipper opto boards. If the fault does not move, suspect the LM339 chips.

Fix

  • Replace the LM339 chips (socket them).
