I'm an idiot, had a couple too many glasses of wine and changed out coils in my IJ. The wrong ones were in it when I bought. So I crossed the wires, blew a few fuses until I figured it out. I then fixed the wires, flippers were completely dead. So I ordered a new fliptronics board. Installed that, it immediately blew another fuse, I then replaced the diodes on the coils. That seemed to improve things a little now the flippers register with the door open when I push the buttons but when I close the door one cool fires and sticks. I switched all wires to the opposite coil to test and it does the same thing but on the opposite side. Bad transistor, bad coil, or other? Please help, I'm not really technical but I'm trying...

So a transistor on the flipptonics board right or the power board?

Are these transistors easy enough to to swap out or should I just buy another me board? Do you have to have a solder sucker?

Thanks for the help all! So I replaced a bunch of transistors and one coil is still firing and sticking when I shut the door. Could a coil be fried? I am lost at this point.
