Quick question, My Road shows dot matrix display is not coming and and I have no sound and ball keeps shooting out. Also, the flashers come on and stay on. fuse F111 flasher secondary circuit and fuse f112 solenoid secondary circuit blew.
after trouble shooting I found that the ribbon cable that is connecting the wpc security cpu, flipptronic 2, dot matrix controller and sound board is bad. I am ordering cable and connectors to build my own cables and replacing them.
is there anything else I should be looking at that maybe causing this issue?

Sounds more like a connector one row off vice a failed cable. A failed cable can be nothing but open vs short.

Ahh, yes I pinned it down to the ribbon that is connected to the wpc security cpu board, flipptronic 2 board, dot matrix controller board and sound board

Were you able to correct the problem then?

had to order ribbon cable and connectors. Should be arriving next week. will be replacing all my ribbon cables in this machine as well as in my other machines. Will post again when done weather it fixes the issues or not

well put a new ribbon cable in and that did not fix the issue. I think I have a dead board will have to do further troubleshooting tomorrow

road show fixed. Turned out the plug for the Cpu board had come unplugged and being tired yesterday I did not see it. The ribbon cable was the problem as I had suspected and once I replaced it everything worked
