Hello- I have a sorcerer that has a right kicker coil that stays on when in game or in the diagnostic menu. Neither of the kicker switches are touching. I tested the corresponding transistors and they measured ok. The coil stops when I remove ij19. Is there an easy way to diagnose if this is a board or playfield problem? Thanks!

Edit: did more testing, grounding the transistor in attract does make the coil fire, so wouldn't that have to indicate a switch grounding problem? Or could it still be a board problem, such as a logic chip?

Further testing- coil locked even with ij18 (special solenoid switches) removed. That would have to indicate a board problem correct? I'm suspecting u6. If this is correct, what would cause a logic chip to go bad and is there potentially another problem somewhere? Should I be checking any other logic chips?

Update- replacing u6 did not help

Aaannnnd u7 replacement fixed it some closure and hopefully helpful for future sorcerer owners!
