    Quoted from mof:

    Dear Vid,
    I installed a "special solenoid saver" board to ALL my system 7's and 9's and now I have both more protection and better isolation when a problem occurs.
    Previously, on my Firepower, the solenoid fuse 2amp would go out over and over, so I put a fuse breaker on it. I can get in an hour of play before it blows.
    Now, with the Special Board with 6 unique fuses. I know it's JUST the top right pop bumper. I moved my breaker to that specific top right pop fuse. Sweet.
    I'm wondering how you would go about diagnosing a short in a pop bumper? (It's never locking on or locking up) -- I just play and then at some point it goes limp...
    thanks,
    mof

    Hey mof, I’m having this problem on my taxi! All I did was clean and wax the playfield, but maybe I bumped something. I can’t seem to figure out which one is blowing the fuse, but maybe I’ll replace the diodes 1 by 1? Question, which diode did you replace? I have two on there, or is there a way to test them?

    Sick of blowing fuses lol. I just wanna play!
