All Solenoids not working - Would a blown F112 cause this ?

Hi - Yesterday something went strange on my fishtales, it failed to boot, I re-seated a few things and removed the ground issue I was getting. Since it has come back up the game boots fine however all solenoids do not work in the test menu. It also has an EOS error which I presume is unrelated, I've just removed F112 (as shown). All the symptoms are the same.

What I'm wondering is - is it just a matter of replacing F112 and I should be operational ? Or is it likely multiple blown fuses? (I understand there are other fuses related to this, namely being F103,F104,F105 which look after solenoid #'s 1-8, 9-16 & 25-28.

Everything is shut today so I wont be able to replace it, was hoping I could find another fuse in the game to swap over to verify however doesn't appear there are any that are the same (7A S.B)

Hope this makes sense!!! (complete beginner)

Thanks

Are you testing the coils with coin door open if so it disables all the hi power coils in the game.Go over your ribbon cables again to make sure you didn’t miss any row of pins.The blown will have to be replaced to see if it failed from old age or fatigue.

Quoted from pinmike:

Fishtales doesn't have a high power interlock switch.

Get some fuses. Put a new one in. If it doesn't blow, crap happens. Enjoy the game. If it blows again. Then you need to figure what caused it.

Thanks - will have to order one. So without this fuse I could expect none to work including flippers? Thanks again.

The shop near me only has 7.5 not 7a - close enough ?

Since you aren't sure of the problem yet. I wouldn't over fuse. You could cause more damage. Sorry.
