My lower right flipper coil on my Judge Dredd isn't receiving power.

I found on pinwiki that the coils should be getting 20-60v when tested, and the other 3 are, but not this one.

I've tested for continuity along the wires, and there are no breaks or anything.

No idea what direction I should be going in right now.
 
You have continuity of each wire to the fliptronics board ?

Did you pull and check fuses on the fliptronics board ?

Then I'd measure power leaving the fliptronics board, in case you have other problems on it.

LTG :)

Yes!

Uhhhh... Nope. Just did, and one of the fuses has blown. I'll have to pick some up tomorrow!

The power that goes out through those wires? Am I measuring the pins on that connector that goes to the flipper coils, or?

And by the by, you seem to help me a lot, so really, thank you.
 
The fuse will probably fix things unless it pops again. ( then I'd suspect bad coil or bad diode on it )

When I suggested power leaving the fliptronics board, I meant at the connector going to the coils.
