I have a Time Warp that I'm trying to get working. Right now, I have an issue where when a game is in play, activating the flippers (either side) causes the game to go into Game Over mode. Not sure where is the most logical place to start, but the power board was outputting the proper voltages. It also has a brand new Rottendog MPU/Driver combo board. Maybe a coil issue? Something may be shorted too, I suppose, but not sure what that would be. This ever happen to anybody else?

Troubleshooting further, the HV fuse was blown, so I'm thinking maybe the diode on one or both flipper coils are bad. Going to get some fresh diodes and swap them out on coils to see if that helps.

Check the flipper coil diodes to make sure they aren't missing, broke or have cold solder joints. Check tilt switches to see if the flipper vibrations are closing them.
