    Had this game for about a year with minimal issues. During mid game yesterday, I entered one of the modes (I think it was video wrestling??) and then the flippers just stopped working and ball drained. Game kept going as if it was working, but a new ball out to launch, but the TAG button would launch the ball. It just made the bell ring and activated light show. Flippers don't work at all anymore, but when you press the right one it rings the bell, lights go off, and it awards 100K points.

    I powered down the the machine, and it still does the same thing after cycling power. Dead flippers, dead TAG button (light flashes on it), and the flipper gives 100K when pushed.

    Any ideas? Here is a crappy video trying to show what is going on:

    Is the coin door closed? Do the coils work In test?

    Quoted from chuckwurt:

    Is the coin door closed? Do the coils work In test?

    Thanks chuckwurt for the ideas! Yes, coin door was closed. I just ran diagnostics and these are the three coils that didn't work during the test. They were all working fine prior to this:

    1) Auto Launch 50V
    2) VUK
    3) Scoop

    Glad you mentioned the door closure though....for a minute I couldn't figure out why any of the coils wouldn't work when I was testing it...then realized I had the door open at first. doh!

    I would read the manual and see if a fuse operates those coils and those only. Then I would get a meter and see if they are getting power.

    Found the fuse that went to those coils, and it had blown. Switched it out, and seems to be back in good shape now. I'll keep an eye on it and if it blows again I guess I'll know I have a bigger issue. Thanks for the advice @chuckwurt!
