Quoted from Arcade:

Yes , someone called me on the phone and while holding up the flipper for only about 4 min. It just up and gave out.

Same thing happened to me about a month into owning the game. Same reason. I took a phone call. I tried to look up my original post but lost it. Anyways, It is a transistor on the driver board. Call your distributor and they will send you out a new driver board. Good learning experience tearing into the backbox and removing mainboards.

Many will advise you to replace it with a better transistor (soldering on the mainboard), but I chose to have it replaced under warranty. My distributor and Stern took good care of me. No complaints. Stuff happens. AND AC/DC is an awesome game no question.

Arcade,

Q15, you are correct. Yes, if you can do this it would be the best move. I simply didn't want to solder on my new machine. But someday I am sure I will have to.

Glad you found the problem.
