Bram Stoker's Dracula
Williams, 1993I just started having an issue on my BSD. I must preface this by saying that I also just put a color DMD in the machine when this started happening.
At power up it will run testing and kick a ball into the shooter lane. You can start a game and it will keep another gall out but will not launch. It seems like the machine is also doing a constant test also. I have checked fuses and the ground. Any ideas?
I Also notice that the right Outlaw does not kick out anymore. I'm wondering if these are on the same fuse that I can't findI'm wondering if these are on the same fuse that I can't locate

Looks like F105 is the fuse for solenoids 1-8

Quoted from attitude05:I have checked fuses
Actually measured with a meter? Check F101 to F105 as these are fuses for the power to coils.
I did another check this morning. I changed the F105 and no change. During the test 1-8 did not fire at all but everything else is good. I will have to pick up some 3amp fuses tomorrow and see what I can do.
Quoted from attitude05:101 to 105 changed and still no go on 1 to 8
Check for DC power at the coils with a meter.
Sometimes the secondary solenoid 7amp fuse blows out at F112 (second from the top right) but that should kill all coils.
Could game be confused as a result of s trough switch issue. Check to make sure the diodes on the trough switches are good, no broken wires or wires touching or shorting against another wire or something.
I have checked the fuses on the driver board and I am still having the same problem
I wish I could post a video so you guys can see what is happening
I did a continuity test and tested the fuses things were reading properly. However I just went downstairs got ticked off and replaced every single fuse on the driver board. Game fires up and plays perfect now. I am happy that it is working now but can't understand why only replacing the fuses that handle the solenoids Did not fix the problem but I had to replace every single fuse.
