Recently helped a mate getting his first machine with picking it up.At the pick-up point, we played the game and it all appeared to work.

When we got it home, we powered it on no issues, but did not put a game into it. i quickly showed him through the menu's, reset to Factory Default for him as he wanted it, along with high scores etc. Then we both had to run off and do other things. When be powered it on later, the game was doing all sorts of weird shit.

1) On boot up the Right Popper (03) & Left Popper (02) are firing about ten times each before stopping.

2) When starting a game, its spitting balls out 1 at a time continually, no opto's work, no flippers work

When putting into solenoid test, flippers are all working, however no opto's work in switch test. Diagnosed as a Flipper Grounded Switch Issue as everything in that line is effectively poo. I can't really see how the factory default would have changed anything, unless something was disabled, so assume its an issue caused by movemen, but for the life of me can't see it. i assumed originally a cable might have just become d/c.

And what is possibly causing the poppers to fire on boot up?

I am intermediate with pinball repair, but never worked on JD and avoided buying one as i never wanted to really to work on it, but now im stuck doing it helping this mate, haha.

I searched the inter-webs and found this thread below which is 80% of the issues i have, ( minus the poppers) , however i am unsure what they mean about the repair, if even relevant & what the deal is with the poppers as i dont see how they could be related. I assume as issue happened most likely in transit, there is a wire break or connector issue, i just cant seem to find anything!

Thanks guys, I have his machine in my van atm and will have it set up tomorrow and will check it out. There were no additional LED or flipper lights etc installed. I will definitely check that 12V tho. Someone mentioned the "10 Opto Board" - Which one is this ? From what i can see there is

7 Switch Opto PCB
24 Switch Opto PCB
Planet Opto PCB
5 Bank Opto PCB
Double Flipper Opto
Flipper Opto LEFT

Haha, well from what i can tell, its all the opto's! couldn't find a working one on the game at all. I'm still totally confused how the issue arose based around being transported for an hour or just resetting the factory default. I've moved a couple hundred pinballs in my time, first time its ever happened & had to be on my bloody mates

Thanks everyone, i can confirm that Fuse - LED 7 was blown., but also think i have found another issue

Attached is the right flipper switch opto pcb. The track on it was off the pcb, and the wire (blue/Violet) was soldered to the point circled in yellow. Is this a hack job? As looking at the manual it looks like this wire is actually meant to go into the connector, or is it actually meant to be soldered to the pcb?

I purchased a replacement Right Flipper Opto pcb as pictured. The new pcb as solder points for a 12v and ground point. Do i need to put this wire into the connector as per how i see the diagram, or, can it just be soldered to the 12v point on the pcb?
