While playing on Black Knight and ball captured in lower capture hole, I blew a fuse and ball didn't eject out of hole. I shut off machine and pulled ball from the hole, replaced fuse blown on power supply board.
Now, the right flipper and the right Magnasave don't activate. Checked fuses on the power supply board, 2 fuses undewr the playfield near the Magnasaves and all the fuses checked OK. Installed new fuses to verify and problem still there.
Is there a transistor that controls the right flipper and right Magnasave that might have fried?...

Thanks
John

I checked the voltage on the right flipper coil with the machine turned on tonight and I am reading about half of what I should be. Its reading about 16 volts DC and its suppose to be 32 volts DC....
I checked the left flipper coil to confirm and it showed 32V.

Does knowing that I am only getting half the required voltage to the flipper narrow down the suspect area?

Thanks
John

Problem found!.....weak wire connection on the IDC connector on the 3J3 connector of the power supply board...
One of the wires into the IDC connector was not seated well...had only intermittent contact. Re-seated the wire for now until I can change out the connector to .156 pins...
