HI all I am new to working on games and I am new to owning a Sys 1 Genie. I am having 2 main problems. So first off when I turn the game on sometimes it does now fully turn off and then after a few off and ons it will fully come on. My second and most frustrating problem is my damn drop targets. When I have the 2A fuse under the playfield in, The drops will not come up, sometimes the front 4 will but then the fuse blows. If I manually put them up and turn the game on then knock them down, the score perfectly but will not come back up. Now I do not know how bad of an idea this was but I was told that SOMETIMES you can put a 2.5A or even a 3A. I put a 2.5A in and all the drops came up and the back ones worked almost perfectly but the front 4 were locked up so the coil was locked I am assuming. Any help would be fantastic and thanks in advance. By the way I suck at reading the switch matrix, since I am relatively new but have been doing a ton of research and watch videos etc. These are pretty much the only 2 things I have left to have the game working 100% (I did do the ground mods on all 3 boards)

also just pulled the PF up and the back 2 coils that run the back 7 drops are nice and cool. the one coil that runs the front 4 drops....i just touched the assembly, the rod that runs through the coil was very hot.
