Fathom - Tilt from flipping after move

[cyberkryten]

So, I did a machine shuffle at the weekend and reclaimed Fathom from Josh.

However, when starting a game, using the right flipper causes a Tilt - it seems to be you can partial flip and it is fine but a full press to trigger the EOS and you immediately get a Tilt.

Left flipper is fine, so you can play and use the left flipper, or gently tap the right and everything else seems to be working.

It was working before we moved it (or so Josh claims...)

I'm guessing something is off/crossed/bent since it was moved but I'm not really sure where to start looking.

There's nothing obvious under the playfield I can see, I guess tracing the wires from the flipper and seeing where they go is what I need to do but just wondered if anyone has any 'oh it's probably that' suggestions?

Sounds like a diode. My MB gives tilt warnings on the right return lane when the diode behind frank has been bent/shorted. I'm sure someone else with more knowledge will chime in but I'd be looking at diodes along that switch row to see if anything is amiss.

the right flipper switch if i recall has an extra switch to do the top lanes lit advance, so is a switch on the switch matrix. both are on the same row. as mentioned above test for a shorted diode.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I tested a load of diodes and totally unplugged/reconnected all connectors I could find in the blackbox and under the playfield.

Found nothing wrong but now it works, so I'm assuming something had come loose or I've 'fixed' a dry joint by moving something for it to reappear later...
