can't adjust last post so here is a slightly clearer one



I had a sudden issue today while playing my Baywatch which I haven't had for long so still working what needs some changes.

1. was playing a game today and all fine, and played a second game and made it to a new video mode where you had to make your character run along the beach by hitting the flipper buttons really fast.
2. played a third game and the sound effects were not there but kept getting the Hoff saying "we will be right back" constantly through the game so something wasn't right
3. turned it off and waited a minute then turned it back on and had all lights, but no dmd, no sound sequence, no ball check and no boot up
4. lifted the dmd board out and noticed that the F8 fuse blew on the Playfield Power Board (PPB) which is a 4amp which looks after the 50volt supply to the coils
5. replaced the fuse and turned on and nothing, went to pull out the fuse to check and broke the fuse puller and the multi meter had dead batteries - so can't check now until tomorrow as night time now.

I am still waiting on one part (dmd power supply cable) as when I first got the machine it was resetting so suspect the cable etc is a issue not getting the proper 5v. Once I get all the parts I was going to do a shop out of the playfield as some of the flipper coils do not have a diode and incorrect flipper coils amongst a bunch of other switch tidy ups (change out the washing up sponge) etc

could this missing diode on the flipper coils be the cause???? or the rapid flipper activating

anyone have any glues, any advice would be much appreciated
