Check your voltage test points on the solenoid driver board, see if you lost
the 12 or 18 volt, if not then start checking power to the trough boards,
then back to the board they plug into, then back to the solenoid driver
board. You lost opto power somewhere. LTG

Coin door open is because you have the coin door open. Close coin door.

Not familiar with this machine but go into the ringmaster test and look for
problems--I am guessing that accounts for your other 4 messages.

Do you have a credit dot?

Open the coin door.

Does the test menu switch register when you press enter?


Firing coil:

The switch that tells the coil to fire may need to be adjusted so it stays
open until the ball gets there. The coil may think there is always a ball
there is the switch is poorly adjusted and keeps closing. If the switch is
opto in nature, then clean the opto(both sides).
