I am trying to diagnose a problem. I powered up a No Fear and a couple coils locked up. I blew 104 and 105 fuses, which I replaced. Machine boots but now none of the dedicated switches work and I am trying to find the problem. Trying to understand the schematics and it seems like I can jump a 5v line to each of these pins on the mpu board to see if they work? If so I can pinpoint the problem to board or not. Any help appreciated, thanks.

Any signs of battery corrosion on the CPU?

No. It was already set up with remote battery and was working fine prior to the issue.

Aren't dedicated switches running through your fliptronics board ?

I will have to check that. It didn't look that way, but I could easily have missed something. Seems to show from coin door board to cpu board.

On WPC95 they go to the CPU.

Sorry if I confused you.

They should are already at 5 volts. To activate you would jump ground to the pins of J205.

Ok, thanks. It has an explanation under the diagram, but I must have it backwards. Wanted to check before I did further damage testing it. Thank you!!

So just now getting back to this. When I jump the pins to ground on the mpu, the swiches registers. Since it is all of them not working I assume it must be the ground circuit that serves the coin door. I think my best bet now is to test continuity out from the mpu to the coin door and find the break. I will post as resolved if I find the issue.

Found a ground wire on the coin door disconnected. Everything seems to be in order. Thanks to everyone who added pointers. Merry Christmas!
