Need some help. My DE Star Wars had an issue a couple weeks ago. Come to find out one of the bridge rectifiers had failed. Replaced it and got the game back, but the left flipper was so weak it could barely even lift a ball. Just replaced the coil with a new one and the issue remains. Seems to me something is keeping voltage from getting to the flipper? Thanks for any help in advance. Still learning.

You need to measure voltage at the different test points that the driver board has and see what’s what.

Clean the EOS too?

If it got weak only after you worked on the BR, probably not.

Well swapped in a brand new power board and issue remains. Going to replace the transistors on the flipper board and see if it was there. Looks like this small board has had transistors replaced before, so hoping that is it.
