I just moved to Florida, I am not proficient in pinball repair, my friend in Maryland did all my repairs and I don't know anyone in my new area who owns or fixes pins.

Anyway I had my pins shipped down to Florida and were in storage for a few months and just now getting them set up, the only pin with a problem is my DILE.

I start the game and no error messages. I hit start and no ball was ejected so I popped one up with my finger and was playing fine until it got to multi-ball when it never served any balls into play. I drained out and never served next ball. So I figured it was a ball trough issue I lifted the PF and everything looked OK, not sure what so I pushed in the electrical wires around the ball trough and everything looked ok.

I started the game and it said hit enter for report and when I did that it said Bluetooth dongle is missing. I have no idea what that is and never had the issue before, I looked around in the cabinet and the head didn't see anything but don't know where I am supposed to be looking.

So they I just want to see if the ball trough is working so I hit start and the start button doesn't work. It has lights just not working, I lift the PF again and look at the start button it looks OK all the wires are attached. Not sure what to do, I hit a wall.

I went from working pin except for ball trough to now not working pin with missing dongle and start button not working.

Hello

I got the shooter button wire connected that’s working now.

Went into coil menu and ball trough VUK and Auto Launch are not working.

Everything looks connected. Is there a fuse maybe that I should look at??

Thank. I’m not home currently but I’ll check that out and report back.

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help to everyone in this thread.

Looks like the fuse might be out.

Anyone know the size or voltage I need ?

Thanks.

Figures, I dropped the fuse when I was taking it out do I didn't get a good look at it, it's lost in the back box, but I think it looked blacked.

Update.

put in new fues and it doesn't work and fuse is blown again, put another fuse in and it glowed when I go into coil menu.

what to do?

10Pcs 6.3A Slow Blow Fuse 6.3 Amp Time Delay Fuse T6.3AL250V 250V Slow Acting T6AL Glass Fuse 5x20mm

everything looks normal, pictures in thread above.

looks fine

Update..

I looked all over and can not see any loose/broken or burned wires.

there was one wire that looked like it was slipping out of the connector which I pushed back in firmly.

I tested the game coils with the PF sitting up on the service rails and it worked, but when I place the PF down into the playing position the fuse blows and once I saw a spark when the power was on and the PF was put back in place.

My friend said there should not be any spark and I never saw a spark on any game before so I guess there must be some loose current on the underside of the PF causing the fuse to blow.

Here is what I saw as a loose connection. It was still plugged in I just could slide it in a bit more. The red wire.

when you place the PF down there are two metal tabs on the underside of PF that fit in the 2 notches, the spark was at the right most notch but that could have just been what touched first IDK.

I did slide the wire in tight, but still am blowing a fuse.

PM sent

Update

Kevan came over to help me out. It appears that the insulation around the kick back coil was crimped and must’ve made contact with a metal piece that contacted the metal apron. He put some electrical tape and all is working.

Thanks for all the help and great to meet Kevan.

Great job. Lloyd for the win!

I’m still amazed how all these parts come together and work, but really have no idea how the old EM stuff works.
