Hey folks I hope I have come to the right place to hopefully get a Lethal Weapon 3 pinball table working again. Firstly it had a issue where when it launched the ball it would launch 2 instead of one (not in multiball mode just normal play) but after being on for 30 minutes or so it would stop that. Anyways the problem we have now is a few weeks back the pinball was on and the building was hit by a power surge and a few of our machines really didn't like it (Naomi cabs showed JVS errors suddenly) but the pinball seemed fine so we pressed the start button and went to launch the ball and it tripped out the building electrics! We reset the fuse box and tried again and pinball tripped it again which was weird.
So we open the top/header box and looked at the fuses and them seemed OK besides one that looked blown but what we did was take every fuse out and checked it on a multi-meter which showed them all good besides the blown one. Also would the fuse being blown cause it to kill the buildings electrics that badly from a blown fuse, I always thought it just wouldn't not turn on or display a error.
Here are a load of photo's of when we opened her up and before we went out and spent £250+ for a new CPU board which seemed to work and play (with no sound) but is now tripping out the buildings power again and not playing, it shows some lights but you can't start the game and after a short time it will trip out.

I have no idea what to check next and it feels like we have hit a brick wall, so far we have checked:
• Line filter looked clean and tidy
• Looked at the vairistor and it doesn't look burnt
• Reseated any cables that looked like they could be a problem
• Tried the table on a different plug and mains socket completely
• Installed a new Rottendog Amusements MPU & Driver Board (MPU004 Data East/Sega)
When looking inside everything seemed tidy and clean, no damp or creatures living inside. I am stumped could anyone offer any advice or guidance pretty please? We are so gutted because we paid rather alot for this pin and it only lasted about a few weeks before breaking down.
