I got 2 new flipper optos cleaned blades as described in forum. Put on and soon as game started the right flipper automatically went up and stayed up, checked the interrupter and needs adjustment. Left flipper is sluggish, and needs help to flip and isn't strong. When doing test left flipper power does t even move flipper. But will move with hold test and work. In game left flipper not working. Both worked well and then left one just died out . Also when checking it coil feels warm but coil for flipper isn't stuck .any suggestions ? Thanks tom

Why did you replace the optos (flipper button opto boards)?

Thought that may be problem novice at this.

That's cool. Just trying to get the background.

So you had the problems described above, replaced the flipper button opto boards, and now you have different problems...or same problems as before are unchanged?

No problem, thanks , the right coil feels warm now a blown fuse in the fliptronic board f901
T 12 test works well with right the left has no power but will work well with the hold test during game nothing feels warm but no movement at all. Even after moving the interrupter. Thanks tom
