Hi,
I'm looking for some help with my Gilligan's island, the island motor stopped working. In the motor test mode the Opto switch on the island and Island Lock Switch each work but the motor doesn't. How can I test the motor? The game plays but in jungle run or kona mode the ramp stay up and the island won't move.

Thanks I will check the solenoid test before re-flowing the solder.

I didn't see anything in the solenoid test that turned on the motor relay. in the motor test the relay didn't activate.
is there a way to test the relay to see if that is the problem?

I did the re-flowing the solder and it didn't change anything.
is there a way to trouble shoot each part, or bypass the relay to find the problem?

Thank you

still need help!
test report shows an island error.
In the motor test mode the Opto switch on the island and Island Lock Switch each work but the motor doesn't.
when i ground Q58, relay works and the motor turns. so it seems to me all connections are OK, switches OK, relay OK, motor OK.
Where do I go from here?

Can anyone give me some suggestions.

How can I check it?

yes I do have a meter. would you agree that you think the transistor would be the next step?

also thank you terryb

Thanks Mrjamma. I don't have any of the books for taxi, do you know if there are any transistors the same as Q58 that are not used on the board?

I'll give it a try.
Thanks

Gilligan's Island, I had taxi on the brain.
I think I was playing a game on it and it just stopped.
