Domino's Spectacular Pinball Adventure
Spooky Pinball, 2016I have a Domino's Spectacular pinball machine, 2017, low plays. I accidentally pulled the wires off the auto launcher pulling up the play field. I hand wrapped the wires back and it worked a few times before blowing the fuse.. I then replaced the solenoid and soldered the connection . It only blows the fuse when I turn on the machine. I have it unconnected now and just play without the auto launcher. What am I doing wrong.
thank you
post photo 1 (resized).jpgpost photo 2 (resized).jpgwhat are the coil lugs? you mean the two prongs? also, I turned the coil upside down and I think it worked until I put the table down. not sure . I turned them right side up after the fuse blew. will turn up side down again in the morning and see how it works again with the table up.
cant see what could be touching.
thank you
You MUST get the correct wire onto the correct terminal on the coil.
If you put them on the wrong way around you WILL damage the driver transistor on the main board. Notice the coil terminals have a diode across them - the correct wire MUST got to the banded end of that diode.
It sounds like you are well out of your depth with this. I strongly advise you get technical help to repair it or it is going to get very expensive, very quickly.
Thank you, I have the charts and understand about the how the power goes to the banded side of diode. and the power is blue . I think it is a little deeper than what you just mentioned.
you said " You MUST get the correct wire onto the correct terminal on the coil.' that part is easy. On this machine the Switch Matrix chart and Light matrix and wiring chart are easy to read. I just can't tell if you put the solenoid upside down or not. I will look into the " coil lugs the wires solder to ) are coming in contact with the lockdown bar receiver. in the morning .
thanks guys, really appreciate you help

I don't think you are understanding - the coil wires have NOTHING to do with the switch or light matrix. The upside down or not for the coil doesn't affect which wire must go to the correct terminal - it just might help the terminals on the coil from touching metal parts when the playfield is lowered.
