Dead coils and lamps!?

Hey guys,

Just put my playfield back in from clear coating and hooked all the
wires back up exactly as I had them. The game powers up but none of my
lamps work and all coils are not functioning! What could it be???

When you reassemble, it is much safer to go through a structured
bringup.

1) Boards, DMD and sound - no playfield conections at all. The display
should come up. It will complain.
2) Connect switches to the CPU board. Switch test should start working
now.
3) Add opto power form power/driver board to catch the rest of the
switches.
3) Connect GI.
4) Connect solenoids and motors.

Debug it step by step, don't try and do it all at once. There's no
value in skipping any of theses steps.

If it was okay before, something you did. Power off, pull fuses and check
them first. If any are blown you have some serious shorts out on the
playfield. If none are blown, go over all of your wiring. something is off
or not right. LTG

Sounds like the high power switch inside the door is not closed.

Do you have the door closed?
