Need some help here as I have never gotten this involved with a pinball 2000 machine before. I have really only worked on other types. This machine continuously blows f3, which is related to the ball eject solenoid. I replaced the fuse and it kicked on ball up at the start of the game and then blew again. Is this a common problem or has anyone seen this before that will save me hours of trying to find the specific problem. My first thought was a problem with the solenoid, but it seems to be ok as far as movement goes. Doesn't mean its still not shorted and drawing too much power. I may replace it just to see what happens, but I also know that on my other current machine when a fuse pops, its related to a bad transistor. Any help is appreciated. I will be searching for the problem while I wait for a reply.
