    Fuses on the fliptronics board. Broken wire on flipper coils (highly unlikely, I've never seen both go at the same time, but possible)
    Bad optos on flipper boards (Again highly unlikley, but possible)

    Do the buttons register in switch test?

    Thank you, yes. They do work during the flipper test.

    Where is the fliptronics board please?

    Upper left above the MPU board. It should have 4 fuses on it and is about 6 -8 inches square.
    with the game turned off take out all the fuses and check them with a multi meter, they might look ok to the naked eye, but could be blown.

    If they are blown, replace them and then with the back box open hit the flipper buttons one at a time (in switch test, with the interlock switch pulled out to enable high power, and also while watching the fuses on the flip board) if they work and the fuses do not blow, great, go play! If either 1. The fuse(s) blow or 2. the flippers don't work. Then we have more diagnosing to do.

    Where exactly is that to find the fuses?
    In the lower or upper part of the machine?
    Thank you!!

    Top left hand board
    If that doesnt solve it try the connection on the power driver board (the big board ) the top right hand connector plug make sure wires are not broken from the plug - connector
