Hi all,
Currently borrowing Jez’s Tron and I’ve been hit with a dead right flipper. Fuse below the flipper had blown. Tested it by putting the left flipper fuse in that slot briefly and the flipper shot up when the game was powered on (turned off again quickly so as not to blow fuse 2). This suggested a transistor failure based on my online research and it was suggested that replacing the transistor for a new IRL540N one would sort it.
However when replacing the transistor, it fixed the issue until the flipper was flipped once and then the same thing happen again, blew fuse and shorted transistor and it’s dead again. Everything under the playfield seems fine, not sure where to go next! Any ideas?
