I have a lord of the rings pinball that blew a fuse for the flippers. When i replaced the flippers the left coil melted. What can I check to see what caused this. Thanks for your help.

Q15 transistor probably blown according to the manual and here is where it is located on the Power Driver board (see red arrow). If you have a DMM you can test it to verify but most likely it is blown and causing the coil to lock on when you turn it on or start a game. Fix this first before replacing the coil otherwise it will melt another one.
Awesome advice. I will take a look to see if it is blown. So totally a stupid question for you guys but what is a DMM and how do I use it to test the transistor? Thanks.
