Alien Poker
Williams, 1980I have an Alien Poker that was working fine, but now the flippers and all solenoids do not work. Coils don't fire in diag mode either.
I checked the fuses (yes, by pulling them and DMM test)... or at least I checked the ones on the power board.
What did I blow up?
TIA
frisbez Well, you were right. Back when I got the game, I added the two 8 SB fuses to the bridge rectifiers. One of those fuses blew.
I replaced the one blown fuse and now the game is back, but I'm in worried I may have a more serious issue. I posted what I thought was an unrelated issue, but could have this been the culprit (basically a busted EOS switch that never put the upper flipper into 'hold' mode):

Sounds like you got it sorted. Those fuses for the bridge rectifiers coming in handy!
Definitely replace that leaf switch too.
