Gottlieb Touchdown (Gottlieb, 1984) noobie needs help

[ace7918]

Ok New to pinball and forum so be gentle. Lol. I received a gottlieb touchdown pinball that I needed to put a new control board in. The previous owner had lost interest. My question is that none of the solenoids want to fire, not even the flipppers or ball launch. They all have power but no action. I know the switches are good because it will register points. I got them to work before but not now. I know General maintenance and fuses are good and the voltage is there. Thank you. If it matters the game makes music but the game over shoot again lights never go out. Any help is appreciated.

Welcome to Pinball Nirvana. I may be able to help get you up and going. You say that you got them to work before but not now. What events have taken place in the mean time. Also, what was the reason for replacing the control board and which one was replaced. MPU or driver board?

Well I checked all the solenoids for power and it's all there. Sometimes the digital display looks a little scrambled. So I checked a lot of the connections and reset it with the red button. Other than that not much.

Oh and I put in a solenoid 80a new driver board because the guy used it for a different pinball he had.
