TECH: Help needed with EM Bally Circus Short

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.pinball (More info?)

I have never had this issue with a machine before and need some help.
While playing my Bally Circus, I accidentally hit the coin door causing
it to open. Well the lock down lever was not all the way up and it came
in contact with the top of the coin door, I saw the spark and now the
game does nothing. I have replaced all the fuses and checked for burtn
wires but nothing. Any idea where I should start? Thanks for your help.

Any chance you missed a fuse ? ( look all over, under playfield, all over
inside of cabinet bottom and backbox.) The ones you did replace, did you
remove and check them with an ohm meter to see if they were good or bad ?

Then check with a meter if you have power coming into the game, follow it
along for awhile and see if it stops anywhere. LTG

Did you take out a circuit breaker or fuse for the outlet it's plugged into
? LTG

Check the slam switch to make sure it isn't stuck closed.
