Just got done super shopping this game was running perfect now nothing the only thing that I did was put it on my Wico Pinball Cart and moved from one room to another and wondering if there's a switch under the main board on the bottom of that game and I may have pinched it shut or something rang all the fuses check the cord for continuity got zapped on the bottom board touching one of the slam switchers while holding the coin door I don't know what's wrong Any help would be appreciated I am at a loss here

Older machines like that are turned off by a slam switch located in the bottom of the cabinet. No external button as such.

Yes that I know. I plug it in and nothing. Add credits whatever nothing. No GI not a peep when I push the game start button and nothing. Could I ave picked the bottom slam ? Is it under the bottom board between the base board and the bottom of the cab ? Or are they all accessible with lifting the PF ?
I moved the score motor by hand. Nothing. Actuated all relays by hand. Nothing.

Is it still sitting on the cart?

The knockoff switch is mounted on the bottom cabinet board, and is a metal shaft mounted in a nylon bushing (same as a flipper bushing). Above it is a switch pair. When the metal shaft pushes up (usually from slapping the bottom of the cabinet underneath), it opens the switch and turns off the power.

If the game is still sitting on the cart, it's possible it's pushing up the metal shaft enough to open that switch, cutting all power to the game.

Those pinball carts are a hazard to knockoff switches.

Congrats on getting it fixed!

Had the same thing happen yesterday. Only mine was caused by a 4 year old who thought is was cool to lay under the game and start kicking it.
