I was looking into my hologram and seeing if I could adjust anything to make it more visible. I had the playfield up and moved it around a few time. I was trying to slightly move the lamp to change the angle. I put the playfield back down and noticed the left flipper just flip once on its own. I put the balls back in to see what was going on and neither flipper worked when I hit the button. I pulled out the dmd to fold it down and then the dmd went out. Now the game won't boot. It just keeps ticking. No dmd. No lights. Wtf did I do. F116 was blown and replaced. No change. I had to pull something loose. Can someone help me out again please??? Where to start?

I reseated a bunch of connectors and it came back on. Weird part is that it was no longer on free play and my high scores were gone I had replaced the battery holder with one off the board. My hands were around those wires when everything went out. Bad solder connection? Coincidence? I'd still like a better understanding of this process. I've gotten decent at repairing issues but this is the first time I lost dmd.

If you removed/replaced the batteries having to reset your settings is expected since they were held in the batteries.

I replaced the holder months ago. It did hold the date, which was weird. High scores and free play were gone.

Going back in my brain, the hologram lamp went out first. Flippers may have gone out with that.

Ah, gotcha. If it’s on the same fuse, maybe you simply shorted it.

Problem is that it wouldn't boot after I changed fuse. Only booted after I reseated a bunch of connectors. I'm guessing a coincidence..... Maybe.

I think you should just trade it to me.

Lol not my beloved creature. It will be a while before I even contemplate moving it.
