Hey guys, I'm trying to trace a problem with my STTNG, and I'm wondering if anyone else has seen something similar. First, the left cannon started coming up with "can't find home" errors, but the switches would work fine in the tests (home and mark). It's done this intermittently since I got the game a couple of months ago, but usually only after it's been on for a long time, so I thought it was just the cannon wiring loom being worn out. Plan was to just replace these eventually... Then I ran through some other tests, and noticed that the two underplayfield diverters and the drop target weren't firing either. I checked, and the bottom diverter (that goes to the left cannon) had a coil that was completely melted somehow. Now, I know that this worked at one point (since balls would go to the left cannon), so something went very wrong at some point. I did check, and both sides of those coils show continuity to ground, so I think this means I have a short somewhere-any thoughts on how to track it down?
Also, something else that was very strange-I noticed that F103 was blown, so I replaced it, and then it blew again after I turned the game on. The weird thing is, this fuse is supposed to control a bunch of flashlamps (the ones in the borg ship), but those all work just fine. The coils that aren't working are on F105, which is fine.
Anyway, thanks for the help, but as you can tell this is the first time I've had to trace an issue like this.
