Hi all,
Just got my Corvette machine this weekend. It worked fine when I picked it up, but after I removed the backbox and put it back together in order to get it in my attic, the machine would not start up properly... Dot matrix gave random pixels so I checked the ribbon cables. Tried a few things and after a while the dot matrix worked again, except that it gives random pixels for a few second directly after I turn the machine on. Worse, the engine on the playfield, the race track and the flippers don't work anymore. I checked the fuses and found out all fuses on the fliptronic board (F901-F904) and one fuse on the powerdriver board (F111) were blown. I replaced all the blown fuses with new ones but when I then started the machine all 3 flippers flipped once and then didn't work again. Checked the fuses again, all replaced fuses blown...
When I tried to find the ribbon cable problem, the machine also started to smell a little like something inside was smouldering...
What could be the problem here? Fliptronics board broken?
All help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Bart
