My Centaur flippers are dimming all my GI lights when pressed. It's pretty annoying and I spent half the day today trying to figure it out. Here what I tried and checked.

All voltages good on power board.

Checked all GI connectors on power board and look good with no burns.

Reflowed solder to power board and solenoid board headers.

Swapped out the power board and solenoid board with my Flash Gordon which doesn't have the GI problem.

Power coming in from the wall is clean as all the electrical in our house is new.

Any suggestions as to where else to look? Thanks.

Check/change the diodes on the flipper coils. Ohm out the coils themselves.If out of spec...replace.

Thanks, I'll check the diodes and coils. The right flipper is a lot worse than the left so that could be problem.
