Hive Mind,
Recently our TAF lower left flipper stopped working. I'm admittedly not great with repair. Fuse F102 was also blown. I figured the coil was bad and replaced it - and the fuse. I turned on the machine, the flipper energized and blew the fuse. I've checked all the wiring and EOS - seems fine. I don't see how I can use the machine diagnostics, as the flipper energizes and fuse blows as soon as I turn on the machine.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
First you had a non-working flipper with no other symptoms? Then you swapped the coil and it now locks on a blows the fuse? Did you install a coil with the proper diode? You say you are "not great with repair," did you unsolder the diodes when you put the coil in by mistake? Have you tested them?
You probably need to test the hold TIP 102 driving transistors on the fliptronics board as well. Flipper problems are common with the WPC games, you should be able to search the forum and or PinWiki for the diagnostic steps for your TIP and diodes if you aren't sure how to do that.
If the Wiring and Diodes are correct then Q3 or Q10 on the Fliptronics board will be short circuit if the Primary Coil is the issue.
An activated secondary coil will not blow the fuse....an Activated Primary will from Q3 or Q10 will blow the fuse
