So I just recently picked up a NBA Fastbreak... Worked great when I played it at a bro's house. As soon as I got it home, the flippers wouldn't flip and the coin door buttons (volume, menu) wouldn't work either. Seeing that I just moved it, I'm guessing something shook loose. But damn if I can find what...

Just pissed and want this thing fixed and gone at this point. First pin I have ever been unable to play when I got it home. Very frustrating. Of course I've had pins break, but never unplayable upon getting it home.

Forgot to add, I can select a team, but the flippers will never move.

I'd go through it and reconnect every connector. Your flipper buttons work, the coils aren't firing the flippers. Coin door interlock maybe?

Was this the one listed on here in Phoenix for $2250?

Sounds like 12volts is missing on the driver board. Any of the LEDs not lit on the driver board with the game on and coin door closed? If so, you may have a blown fuse.

Good idea... The ball does launch, though, which would mean the interlock is closed as needed in order to provide that high power, right? I reseated every single connector I could find in the machine to no benefit

That it was. It's for sale again, and hey, surprise surprise, at a lower price now LOL... Seriously, this is such a turn off on a game, I won't want to keep this once it's fixed. Worst pin purchase ever.

Thanks for pointing me in that direction. I downloaded the manual/schematics and verified that all the led's on the cpu/driver/av board are on/blinking/off as they should be, per the manual. I called the local pinball tech business for some backup, and they're about 3 weeks out at this point, so unless someone wants to buy/trade as is, it's likely to sit off until I can get some backup on it I'm a computer security guy, but that's all logical, not physical. I know just enough electronics theory to get my ham radio general license, past that I'm lost

Oh, and no fuses in the backbox appear out

Pinball machines likely aren't your thing if you get this upset about one being broken. Relax, ask questions, learn about the hobby and enjoy it. Being able to fix them is part of this hobby.

You're totally right bro, I'm sure I'm aggro at more than the machine right now; looking like reorg/layoffs incoming at work. Sorry for the venting Time for me to take a break and relax.

FYI, reseated a chip on the CPU board and its 100% now. Win!
