Just to add the left gate you said wasn’t working during test won’t. It is not connected to any switches or wires. The left loop switch is 71 and it’s a rollover switch.

Quoted from Pin_Guy:The EOS switch is a playfield wiring issue, since none of these are working I would suspect the orange (GND) wire is broken between J906 and the first EOS switch in the chain.
Could run a long wire from the ground on j906 on fliptronic board to upper right flipper eos switch ground and test. Then try lower right flipper same way.
Quoted from Magicmike0:Just so we are clear, the eos switches under the playfield connected to each flipper?
Yes
Quoted from Magicmike0:I do want to mention this. One ribbon cable looks rough. Probably needs replaced. It’s the one I have to adjust when the DMD gets vertical lines. I just reseat it.
With the power off I hope.
Quoted from Magicmike0:Also, While I was under the pf earlier, I noticed some white powdery substance on the wires near the left flipper button. I though to myself, has that always been there? Could very well be where the problem lies perhaps?
Maybe, the ground is orange and runs to a different plug on the fliptronic board so clean it up and see if it helps.
Also do you have the manual?
Quoted from Magicmike0:Shouldn’t it open on super loops though? I was just throwing the ball around and got to that mode and it wouldn’t open.
Just took the glass off and tested. When in super loop the right loop will stop at magnet and feed upper flipper. The left loop will allow it to do a full loop. The magnet lite should be lit during super loop. That top left gate is to feed the pop bumpers. The top right gate is connected to a coil by a spring that opens and closes it.

Quoted from Magicmike0:Still at it. Haha.
I got my RD repaired for free from K’s arcade. Keith with K’s said it Ended up having a bad bridge directly from RD.
All seems fine with the game now, except the magnet still not working. I want to try re-pinning J902. I have been looking for video explanations on how to do this particular type of connector but have only found ones showing every other type. Any suggestions on tools and how to’s on this type of connector?

It’s an IDC connector. You need a punch down tool. It basically pushes the wire down and the connector cuts into the insulation making contact with the wire. They have different sizes so do some research. Prices vary on different sites.

I would keep it the same IMO but some would disagree. Here is a picture of mine but it was for G.I. I bought a new connector and the tool. Press down on a flat surface till the wire is pushed all the way in. I am a novice and it was my first attempt. This plug will be easy for you.

Will this work as a replacement connector for J902? It doesn’t match the part # in the manual (5791-10862-13) so probably not huh?
That one might work. It does say it is compatible with DH. I also found these on PINBALLLIFE.
