    In your last picture, see that big black ASIC chip shaped like a square...? Give a soft but firm press in the middle and gently press around the edge of it. My JM acted up like this and that was the source.

    Another source could be the varistor within the power box (where the main switch is to fire up BSD). My CFTBL had a bad one, and I swapped it out. That was that.

    Pretty sure that particular meter does not have an audible test. You'll need to set it to "200" at nearly the 6 O'clock position (that would be ohms measuring from 0 to 200 ohms). Anything above 50.0 or so indicates the fuse is bad.

    Quoted from pins4u:

    I think you seriously need to look carefully at your lack of electronic skills and employ someone to sort the problem out.
    Honestly, if you can't use a multimeter what hope do you seriously think you have finding a problem?
    It is so easy to cause hundreds of dollars damage without even realising it.
    Please search You-Tube for dozens of tutorials on using a multimeter because it isn't just about setting the meter, it is about how to interpret the results the meter gives you.

    Or.....we could help him learn and diagnose issues and help empower him moving forward.

    Quoted from PinballManiac40:

    Set your meter to the 20VDC setting ....

    OP, the DC voltage setting is the one with a "V" and two horizontal, parallel lines - one will be solid and the other will be dotted. Do not put it on the "V" with a single wavy line next to it. That is "AC" voltage and rarely used in a machine for diagnosis.
