help! i screwed something up on my world cup soccer.. i pulled out the power driver board and dmd controller board to test another game and when i put it back in it blows the 7a fuse at f112 as soon as the game boots up and the ball start to spin. so the game starts but no solonoids. i took photos before i unwired it so i think i wired all back up correctly.. any ideas what could be causing this now?

Check the bridge rectifier BR.3 on the powerdriver and BR.1 on the fliptronic board for shorted segments.

BR 1 is A-OK
BR 3 is mostly ok its reading about a .6 instead of a .8 on pos to neg test (legs were normal)
BR 4 seems a little out of whack though when checking pos to neg it fluctuated pretty wildly first negative then creeped up to .75 thought that was odd but wondered if it didnt have something to do with this jumper someone put in the back.
let me know what you think.. replace br 4?
I have another powerdriver board i stuck in there and same fuse blew

I don't think you have to replace any bridge. If it doesn't give a full short, it is likely ok. Measuring from pos. to neg. is across the capacitor and that will give some low readings.

Quoted from quantumjosh:

Now that points more to something shorted on playfield or fliptronic

Install powerdriverboard with new fuse, but don't connect J104 , J106/J107. Boot machine. If F112 doesn't blow, bridge BR.3is fine

must have been some loose connections or something causing a short i wired it all back up and tried it again and no blow.. ill mark it as resolved very peculiar..
