Hi,
Helping a guy out with a Popeye - he's a new member on the forum.
2 flipper issues:
1 - Upper right mini flipper is super weak - i suspect its possibly only energising the hold winding, not the flip winding...
2 - Lower right gets hot after a few good games and gets weak when hot
'so for the upper right i have done the following
Replaced coil
Measured 65V at all 3 lugs to ground in attract mode
Swapped with a know good fliptronics board - same problem
Swapped cabinet opto switches left/right - problem stays on right, so assume opto and switches are fine
Checked everything 3 times, no mechanical binding - replaced plunger and coil stop, moves freely
EOS is normally open
So it almost seems to me the problem must/may be on the power driver board - any suggestions where to look or how to test further?
For the lower right, the problem seems to have only occurred since i had the power driver board out and did some repairs to the 5v section, although this may be co-incidence. Again, no mechanical issues, coil has been replaced, so it seems to be electrical - but after a few good games its very hot and weak
Thanks in advacne
Rob
