So I moved my cirqus voltaire into my basement and also decided to upgrade the mpu board to get the batteries off and not needed. They weren't corroded but not wanting to go forward with the chance that's happening. So after completing that, and the game turns on and runs but none of the solenoids work. Even trying the test in the menu for the solenoids leads to nothing with none of them working. So I figured it must have been a fuse blown or maybe I missed a wire and got my multimeter out and searched the backbox and cabinet to see if any wires missing, which none are, and I tested all the fuses I could find on all the boards of the backbox and all of them passed. So I figured maybe the board was bad so I put back in the original one with the same deal happening. Looking at other posts, seems like it could have been an issue of the asic being messed up on the cpu causing similar problems to another game with kind of the same issue to some degree, so I replaced it and nothing has changed either. Does anyone have any ideas? I mean is there a fuse I'm missing on the playfield like some of my other games have or would the cpu rom maybe have gotten damaged and caused this? I keep thinking it's got to be a fuse or a wire but I can't find anything disconnected or blown. This game is also like in pristine mint condition so it's not like a trash game where wires are cut or corroding either.

Yup there's high voltage going to all the solenoids when the coin door is closed. 75vdc according to my multimeter. So now I would guess there's a problem with a board.

Well that sure was an easy fix. Thanks Pinball people-au!
