This is so frustrating. I've swapped out the power board from a working game, as well as the solenoid driver game from a different working game as well. There is only ONE fuse that I can find under the playfield, and it tests good as well. It's a tiny 1 amp fuse at the top of the playfield. What else could possibly be causing this? I've tested all the test points on both the driver and the rectifier board and they seem to read okay to me. I just feel like there is some invisible fuse or something I can't see! Like a damned "fusable link" on an car!!

Help me oh Pinside Forum gurus.. You're my only hope.

Thanks for the ideas. Flippers don't work, but I did hear/see the flipper solenoid click. I'll check those other things- I like the idea about trying the Q tabs.

Temporarily connecting the Tabs of the Qs on the Sol driver board do not produce anything. No reaction from grounding the tabs of any of the Driver Qs.

No Flippers.
Yes, there is 43 volts at the Solenoid Fuse on the Rectifier board, as well as what I think is Pin 9 of J1 (Lower right pin of the 9 pin connector, It's a brown wire, and it appears to connect to the other side of the playfield fuse - The Yellow Common wire to the fuses. However by the time the Brown wire gets to the Playfield, it has no juice. No continuity.

Is it reasonable to put a test wire from the Brown Wire connection from Pin 9 of the Rectifier board to the Brown wire on the side of the Playfield fuse? I THINK it's the same wire, but with such a glob of wires it hard to be sure.

Thanks for the help.

FOUND IT!

I guess they start the "Daisy Chain" of this brown power wire from the Rectifier board, through the upper right flipper. That one came off. All seems better now. Hmm. Now that I'm playing the game though, seems like some of the switch matrix is a little wonky.

At least this problem is put to bed though! Tracing that brown wire from the Rectifier board up to that Playfield Fuse was the key though..

Thanks for your help guys!
