Getting a error on the test report at boot for the f2 and f4 flipper button switch. Having trouble locating the issue all wires look good, connection points look good but the flipper buttons do not register. Any help would be much appreciated.

Tests - Switch Edge - slowly push flipper button in. You have two optos each side. Pushing in slowly you should see lower flipper one the upper flipper one register.

Don't worry if you don't have upper flippers, the optos are used for lane changes and initials. Sounds like you have optos that need cleaning or replacing.

When this happened on my Getaway it turned out a transistor blew out as a result of the EOS getting jammed up.

I did originally have and error for all the flipper switches and eos switches in addition to the buttons but that error went away after I checked the connections, ran switch test, unplugged and replugged in the flipper connector on the board. But the flipper button error has remained

Turns out it was a blown trace on the fliptronics board. Replaced the board and we're back in business.
