Been searching and not finding what I need. I have a Laser Ball that has been working fine. Lately it seems like once it gets warmed up the flippers stop working. After cooling down it would work okay for a while. Last time it acted up the flippers stopped working completely. I have checked all fuses and connections and don't see any issues. Flipper power fuse is good and voltage reads 36v at the fuse. Can anyone suggest where to go from here please?
I would replace the male and female connectors for the flippers at 2J12 (flipper ground connections) on the driver board and the connector for the voltage going to the coils at 3J3 on the power supply board. I had a similar issue on a BK a while back where everything including voltages tested good. It was ultimately the 3J3 connector at fault (after replacing nearly everything else lol). Even if it doesn't fix the issue, i found replacing 3J3 can make a significant boost in flipper strength in some cases.

Thanks! Will check those out. Just ordered connectors for another game, will have to see what I need and make another order.
