Hey, guys! I just bought a Gorgar and it worked fine for several days until about ten minutes ago. I just finished moving it about 5 feet to a different spot in the room, and it's been playing well for several (10 or so) games when all of a sudden the bumpers, kickers, outhole, and kicker hole just stopped working. When I start the game the ball doesn't come into the shooter lane. I don't really know what to do! Any advice would be much appreciated.

Check all fuses, reseat all connectors....

So, I reseated all the connectors. The problem is still the same. I don't know how to check the fuses to see if they're working, but the one fuse I can see when I lift up the playfield looks okay. Could it be a switch is stuck closed or something? Also, I forgot to mention that the gor and gar drop targets won't come back up when you knock them down.

There are some fuses in the bottom right board in the head, one controls all the solenoids. Often you can tell just by looking, I'd it's burnt or snapped, but best to use a multimeter to check for continuity across the fuse.

It was the fuse! I replaced it with a new one and all of the solenoids work again. It turns out that the solenoid fuse blew, but looked okay. Thanks for all the help! Only cost 75 cents and 30 seconds to fix it!

This is why it's recommended to check fuses with a multimeter. It's easy, and it's accurate. Eyeballing doesn't always work, as you saw for yourself.

Glad it was an easy fix!
