I recently couldn't get 43volts to MPU. I installed new rectifier board and new MPU as the old had damage. Game boots but I only get 5 chimes on boot. Also if I add a credit and hit start it won't kick ball out. Left flipper works but not both right flippers. The drop targets dont reset. And it seems it constantly is adding points. Should I revisit connectors? I'm very new to pinball repair.

Fuse under the playfield may have opened. I think it to be 1 amp slo blo.

Will check that thanks

1) check all fuses (as mentioned above, the one under the playfield is the most likely culprit)
2) check all wires. There could be a short with a bent wire or two touching.
3) check for cold or cracked solder joints.

Thanks pinball gurus!! Fuse directly under the play field did the trick. Game resets and functions as it should... Mostly. I still have the issue of both right flippers not working. The right flipper button actually is working the ball feed solenoid in the very bottom under the apron.

Go through the checklist i gave above. It may get you to 100%

Found it. Wire came un-pinned from connector going to driver board. Nothing to do now but adjust flippers and a good cleaning. Thanks again!
