Well, both the sling shots aren't workering, nor are the pop bumpers. I'm guessing it's a fuse, but not sure. I'm pretty new into this. I checked 3 of the solenoid fuses. Not sure if that's even related. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

All of those items are on the same column in the switch matrix. Go into the switch tests menu and see if the other items on the column are affected as well. If they are then it's a very good chance that a wire has come loose on one of those switches. Lift the playfield and inspect each switch on that column and give the wires a gentle tug to see if they are loose/broken. See the attached pic from "Pinball Info dot com" to show what's all on that column. Good luck!

Also, when you're physically checking the wires under the playfield, it's always safest to do it with the machine turned off. I'd hate to have ya find the broken wire only to then short out something else and give you more headaches! Haha

Yeah, what they said.
Also need to better define 'not working'. Are the coils not firing at all, in game play or test mode, or are the coils firing in test mode but not in game (switch issue then)..

I'd also suggest looking in the backbox at J206-3 the green-orange wire. Has it come loose?

Or alkaline corrosion on the MPU board below the battery holder?
