I have a life-size virtual pinball machine and I have determined that one of the solenoids has failed because the knocker on the top left center pop bumper on every table does not cause the solenoid to fire when struck by the ball.  

 

Does anyone know how to test and determine exactly which solenoid (I believe I have 8 in total) has failed and how to replace the solenoid?

 

 

Thanks!

I figure out the replacement of the solenoid.

The ground wire was loose causing the failure.

Fixing the ground wire connection resolved my problem.

 

Thanks
