Re: Lights staying on Black Hole

If a light is locked on, and it is the only light, the problem is more

BTW, please post what solved your flipper problem.

Hi, I finally got my flipper problem fixed, and now I only think there
is a small light problem, one light on the lower playfield on the
captive hole is the only one on all the time, or sometimes its a
different light. I dont think its suppose to be that way, can anyone
help me out, I checked marvins site and it said nothing about lights
staying on the time.

To be honest with you, it took the technician more than 3 hours to
solve the problem and there was just too many manuals and numbers, and
schematics involved, I couldnt tell what fixed it, but I think it had
something to do with the relays. But a HUGE thanks to everyone that
helped me out on my journey. lol. Well, I know the transistor that
controls the coil that releases the ball into the lane is bad. And on
the lower pf, all 3 of the captive hole arrows stay on, and the right
G-Force insert is on very dimly, I also know that the board that
controls the lights around the backbox is bad too. So I am guessing
its that transistor or that board thats causing this.
