Having an issue with BW100. Boots up, has no sound, and solenoids are all dead. Machine has been sitting for a few months and worked perfectly last played. Repeated connectors, voltage at test points are good. No blown fuses.

I’m at a loss.

Is there an interlock switch on the coin door that needs to be closed to activate the solenoids?

Are you getting the expected voltages on all the test points and through the fuses? If not, backtrack the electrical path to see where the break might be happening.

Make sure connectors are clean and not corroded or tarnished.

Found it! No voltage at the bridge rectifier, pressed on the diodes near it, and came to life
