Quoted from bignick2184:Then the game froze and the flippers are all stuck in the up position. For some reason those solenoids are stuck on? Any thoughts?
Lost power to the flipper button opto boards.

Quoted from bignick2184:What do you think would cause the power loss?
Blown fuse, bad bridge rectifier for opto power. Long shot bad ribbon cables.

Quoted from bignick2184:So this would seem to be some problem with the optos?
All the connectors in the right spots ? Facing the right way ? Ribbon cables red stripe pin one each end ? Not off by a row.
If it was okay minus the resets, it's a connector issue or your soldering stuff.
Optos - go to Tests - Switch Edge - pass something between them and see if they register on the DMD as a switch hit. Check the 12 volt test point on the driver board.

Quoted from bignick2184:I’m mortified to post this but... looked down and realized my door was open, thus cutting power to the 50v. Ayyyyy. I am a noob. Game working!!!!
That would have fooled many.
First TZ's didn't have a high power interlock switch. Middle TZ's had it but not wired in. Later TZ's had high power interlock switch and it was wired in.
So as far as TZ goes, not many would have thought to suggest it.
Glad you figured it out and posted to help others.
