Linked Games

#1 9 years ago

VUK's both fire repeatedly about 6 times when machine turns on then they stop. During that time the flippers do not work. Once that stops game will start but starts firing balls without stopping. No power to planet motor or LED strips I added. Replaced some blown fuses, no blown fuses now but LED7 on power board not lighting. I'm thinking it's a circuit board issue since LED7 is not lighting and no fuses are blowing, any other ideas? Thanks a lot!

It looks like your unregulated 12VDC has crapped out.
That power is used for motors and for the optos, which is why your VUKs fire at power on. The game thinks there is a ball in the VUK.

That power is fused by F116. Physically pull that fuse and "buzz" it with your DMM.
If it's good, the options aren't many after that.
Unregulated 12VDC is created by BR5 and smoothed by C30.

Thanks so much, I'll retest that fuse. I had a hazy understanding of this through the documentation and some other forum posts, but you really helped to clear it up and make it very straightforward, I really appreciate it!

Thanks again,

Rich
