“Firepower II replacements: plastics, back glasses, hard tops and playfields are not available. It would be helpful to have an idea how many owners would commit to purchasing the following. It would likely be a "limited edition" approach. see post #157”

Thought I'd post this question here for all the FP2 experts. I was playing the game the other day when I noticed that the upper right pop bumper quite working. I put it in a switch test and it does not register at all. I put it in a solenoid test and it doesn't fire the solenoid either, which I thought was very strange as I would think it would show some sign of life in either test but so far I've not gotten it to do anything. I wanted to jumper the ground tab on the transistor and the solenoid but didn't have any wire with me. But what would cause neither the switch or the solenoid to not work?

Quoted from Gorgar666:

If the quick and dirty coil test doesnt fire the solenoid from the tran tab. Follow the trace from the tran to the connector. Connector wire to under the PF to the pop. Maybe cut wire, diode disconnect, cold solder....

But shouldn't I had at least gotten the switch to activate? Seems really weird that both things went out at once.

Quoted from JethroP:

Did you check the coil? Verified it is good?

Not yet, I don't have the game here at the house it's at a friends house but I plan on going back on Friday. The spoon switch wont work in test mode either.

Quoted from Waxon:

Es muy fácil saber cuándo un interruptor de láminas de un bumper (en este caso de cuchara) no sirve, cuando desarme mi máquina deje el switch muy pegado, lo que ocasionó que el fusible de 2.5 A tronara varias veces.
Para ajustarlo use un voltimetro con unos caimanes, esto para ver hasta donde tenía que doblar la lámina para que tuviera un buen contacto a la hora de ser activada, en modo zumbador puedes probar que algunas cosas estén conectados al mismo lado o en la misma línea/serie con este modo del voltimetro puedes verificar que tú switch se conecte correctamente, si sigue fallando puede ser que el diodo este mal conectado, también puedes verificar con el zumbador que los cables estén conectados bien del bumper a la tarjeta sin que está tenga algún error (falso contacto, conector quemado, cable dañado)
Espero eso pueda servir, si no llegara a servir ninguna de las pruebas puedes seguir preguntándonos

I really appreciate the response but I'm having a little trouble comprehending....LOL.

Thanks SS. BTW: Did you cut and paste his entire reply into google and it translated it all at once or how else did you do it?
