Electrical Issue MM after Cabinet Transfer

An added fact, the flipper buttons can still cause the display to
scroll through the high scores, williams message, etc, so I know they
work. The coils themselves don't power up.

Check for blown fuse for flippers. LTG

Coin door has two switches, one for the alert you see, and one for high
power. If other solenoids are working, your high power switch is too. LTG

Do you have a manual?
The Trolls are on the same board as the flippers.
In test mode do the trolls work?
All of the other coils are working?
You could try reseating the connetors and the ribbon cable on the
flipper board.
Did you pull the fuses to check them or check the installed?

I doubt it. Go into switch edge test, and check both flipper button opto
boards. LTG

Well now you'll have to dig a little deeper.

Power to the fliptronics board ? Power to the flipper coils ?

This may take some time, but power stops somewhere. From transformer, to
boards, to coils. You have a break. LTG

Hey Mike,

You could try my driver board as a test to narrow it down to either the
board or the "other stuff"

OK, just let me know if you want to try that if you can't get it
resolved. In the meantime, go over all the playfield wiring carefully.
Something could be a problem there I suppose.
