Quoted from Deadgreedo:

I have a newly acquired Lethal Weapon 3. I am expecting my XPin psu to arrive on Monday. I’m having the common resetting issue, and didn’t feel like repairing the original board. Anyway, my left flipper started sticking over the past couple days. It gets stuck upward if I hold it for a couple seconds. I’m pretty new to owning my own pins, I’m assuming it’s the coil or maybe the button contact, but would like some insight from people with experience. Any ideas??
Thanks in advance.

Don't make the mistake of blaming the obvious here. There are a LOT more things involved in making the flipper work.

The first thing to determine is it a mechanical or electronic problem?

When the flipper sticks, switch off the power and see if the flipper drops straight away. If it does that means it's probably electronic.

If it doesn't drop it probably means mechanical issues.
