Schematic or manual. Figure out what F4 protects. Then dig in. Board issue, bad coil, short to wiring. Once you figure out what F4 does, then at least you have a board or wires to start going through.

Quoted from Taryn:

I cannot even get the damn rectifier board off 4 plastic pins holding it on squeezed them with a needle nose and nothing.

They usually have a fin sticking out on one side. Push that in and snap the board off.

Quoted from Taryn:

About had it with this stupid thing.

Break time.

Quoted from Taryn:

I would post you pictures of it if I knew how.

Youtube has short how to videos.

When I take a picture for here on Pinside. I upload it to my desktop so it's easy to find. Click the attach images tab on this thread. Pick it off desk top to up load it to Pinside. Then write a description if need be.

Quoted from Taryn:

I have no idea how to post is the problem. How do I check the coils/diodes? Is this where I lift the playfield?

You have to start learning somewhere.

Youtube is littered with plenty of short how to videos to guide you and help you learn.

Youtube has a search bar. Type in what you are looking for. Like how to post pictures on the internet or forum. How to check a diode. For things like coil and lift playfield. Start your search with "pinball", then how to lift a bally playfield. How to check a coil.
