Help me experts on Pin2k! Yesterday I needed to adjust my pop-bumpers switches, but after I put the playfield back down I got the "Slam Tilt Stuck Closed" message when I turn on the machine. The monitor and game powers up, but there seems to be no power to the playfield (no lights, and no power going to other items). Clicking the flipper buttons does play the alien attract sounds, but the start button does nothing.

If I try to go into diagnose the issue from the coin door menu it will not let me. Basically I open the coin door, click the menu button, it comes up, but I'm unable to make any selections (buttons do nothing but exit).

I have checked the areas I was working in yesterday to see if there are any crossed wires, and don't see any issues.

Looking at the control board in the picture you can see the lights that are coming up.

Ensured that none of the tilt switches are engaged (3 on this machine)
I tested the fuses
Reset the cables
Unplugged J113 cable and the slam tilt goes away (on boot), but still no power to playfield

What else can I test at this point? I'm out of ideas and over my head at this point.

Help!

Yep, that is one of the switches I double checked. Currently switch is not in contact with anything.

Note if I boot the machine with the coin door open I do not get the Slam Tilt Error, only the error that the coin door is open. Once I close the door, there is no errors on screen, but the playfield is still not usable and I still can't get to menus.

Bump, what can I test next?

with your coin door closed [or door switch cheated] you should have that entire row of LED's lit red [to the left of the green one in your photo],
I would start there. Seems like your board is only getting part of the power it needs.
KISS - keep it simple. Gotta be something easy!
