Hi guys, am I on the right track....?

I removed the 4 plugs off the MPU board, every so slight sand with 1200 wet and dry (dry of course) along the pins, pushed all the wires into there plugs just to make sure nothing has worked loose.

Next removed the board and checked all the chips with a little push - all good, then re-assmebled everything.

Next checked all other plugs inside the backbox... all good

Tried a boot up test, only got 6 flashes on the MPU led then nothing with only the playfield lighting coming on.

Then thought, check all fuses, 1st the obvious on the power supply board (6 off), no problems then to the solenoid board where there is just 1 x Fuse 8 AG - 3/16 amp fuse. It had no wire in it that I could see and one end was loose and easily twisted off........ I hope to find one of these tomorrow but do you think this could be the problem?????????

any thoughts.
