My TAF has developed a problem with its upper left flipper - for a short period when I played it the flipper would flip, but then drop down, even if the flipper button was held. Now it doesn't flip at all.
In flipper solenoid test mode the flipper does the power flip, but not the hold
A flipper button switch test in switch edge mode shows the lower flipper switch closing, but doesn't register an upper flipper switch closure, even if I short it.
F901 which is the Upper flipper fuse is good
So:
The coil seems to be working because it works in test mode.
The flipper button switch has been cleaned and gapped so it appears to be opening and closing correctly. (I have tried using the other switch and the problem persists, but not sure that proves anything as the two switches are not identical)
The EOS switch on the flipper coil is fine, but irrelevant anyway as the CPU should cut the full flip voltage to hold voltage automatically anyway even of the eos switch is bad
Where should I look next. At the fliipper button switch? The wiring from the switch to the backbox? Anything else?
