Hello. I just got done installing pinblades with UV light kit. Everything was going fine with the test run until a ball wouldn't eject from the VUK and repeatedly tried but it wouldn't come out (even though it did it a few seconds before. I then turned off the machine and turned it back on to find that none of the coils were working. I hunted down a blown fuse in the back box and replaced it. When I turned the game back on it blew two more fuses and this time there was smoke coming from under the playfield. I inspected it and found that the VUK diverter coil wrapper looked a bit burnt with a gob of goo on it. The shaker motor was also shaking until I turned off the machine the second time around.IMG_5500.JPG

I changed out the fuses and was going to turn it back on but thought I would try here first.

Has this happened to anybody else and I don't see any shorts near that coil.

Thanks for any and all help on this.

UPDATE. I disconnected the VUK diverter coil and everything went back to normal minus no diverter. I guess I will call Stern on Monday and see if they can send me a replacement coil.

The Shaker motor is now operating properly. The game is still totally playable as it now kicks the ball out of the hole just like a Pro model. Any idea on how to test the driver board with the game in its current state?

Thanks
