I removed the plastics (and the eyes) and switched out the bulbs to leds. (Not any Flashers) When I finished and powered on everything looked nice and bright. Hit start and the score kept going up. Switch test looked like it was the three drop targets that were down and hadn’t reset. I looked under the playfield for loose wires and then powered on again after resetting the drop targets. Now the only solenoid that gets power are flippers.. did I blow a fuse on the board? There must be a short on the drop target coil? Trying to make sure looking in the right direction tomorw

You may have shorted out the special solenoids fuse. Check it and if it’s bad, replace it. If it blows again, you have a short you need to track down.

what would I have done, that shorted it? so I dont do it again.
THat is the fuse on power board correct. (the manual has a fuse on the power that says solenoid)
