Quoted from Phat_Jay:

Fortunately weak flipper strength can be corrected....[quoted image]

"Call your doctor if your flipper is stuck up for over four hours..."

Quoted from robx46:

Mechanically I've checked literally everything. The only issue I've found is that the game software is not detecting the EOS as being open even though it clearly is. It does on the right, but not the left. & that explains why the left flipper is experiencing this "foldback" (as the manual calls it) but not the right. Must be a board issue on flipper board or MPU, I'm just not sure how to tackle it.

Apologies if you already mentioned this, but I'm presuming you've toned out the wiring all the way back to the harness? Perhaps the wire is pinched or otherwise able to be "closed" despite the switch being open? Also, maybe a break in the fishtape allowing conductivity between the two halves of the switch?

Just throwing stuff against the wall, as it seems you've covered the more obvious bits.
