I switched out the old bulbs for Led's on my sorcerer playfield. Power was off.
When I powered on all the solenoids were dead. Checked the fuse and that was it.
I am just curious what did I likely do to cause this to happen? Trying to make it a learning experience

Have you thoroughly checked the solenoids and lamps in test mode? Everything is now working 100%? It does not seem you shorted anything out while disturbing things during switching the bulbs, because the fuse should blow again if that was the case. Just reading through your text it sounds like coincidence. Was the fuse you replaced the correct value?...and is it a time delay fuse? (solenoid fuses usually are)

and did you change bulbs with the game on?

its 100% now.. And I did replace with the same fuse type thankyou., and the power was off during the changing
the only other thing I can think of was I had to lift the playfield and slide it foward some to get some of the back plastics off. maybe while I had it slightly propped I had wires touching that should not have been?
time shall tell
