Hi all, I've tried almost everything I can think of to cure this fault that was there when I bought my Tales From The Crypt (2 years ago) to no avail! I've searched all the threads I could Google and I'm no closer to curing it. The 2 lower flippers "can" work fine and have plenty of power and other times it seems like they have nowhere near enough power to move.
So far I've replaced everything associated with the flippers - bats, linkages, coils, EOS switches and they move without binding so it's not a physical fault.
On the DE - Solid State Flipper Board (SSFB) I thought I found the culprits the other day when I discovered one cracked fuse holder and one that had a dodgy repair. I replaced all 10 fuse holders with no improvement. All pins on the connectors to the board (CN1 & CN2) I've reflowed. Transistor soldering I've reflowed at SR1, SR2, SR3 the Q2,Q3, Q9 & Q10. I can't see any other suspect cold solder joints on the SSFB either.
Apart from me replacing the 9 transistors on the SSFB or ordering a Rottendog one I really am out of ideas. Anyone suggest anything? Ta!
