Hey guys… my ramp on my mars god of war doesn't work and i do not have any schematics. Anyone know what activates the ramp coil? Is it a switch or the game board? And if the game board what connector?

Yes i switched the coil with a good coil and took that out of the equation. Then i also replaced the ‘bottlecap transistor’ (just the one not all three) under the playfield. Now when i turn the game on the ramp automatically activates. So i turn it off and changes out the little transistor Q9 …. With no change…. And this is where i am now stuck.

Ok i will replace both transistors again and the diode on the coil. And if the results do not change i will look into that chip. Thanks for the tips. I will update the results

Thank you so much for your comment… i re read it a few times and you were 100% right… “if you were sure your transistors were right” i used and incorrect transistor on the first replacement which gave me no positive results. Once i stood back and ‘kept it simple’ and listened to your first sentence, i re-replaced both transistors and ALL IS GOOD!!

Thanks so much for the help. I will donate to pinside!!
