Hello
Has the top hat part of the coil sleeve broken off the bottom and the coil sleeve slipped up ? If so new coil sleeve. If not, trim the coil sleeve shorter.
Thank you,Lloyd

Hello
This is the only thing I have on seating the driver board - People have had problems reseating the solenoid driver boards due to the huge board flexing away when they push in the pins.   A solution that worked was having them put a piece of foam or cardboard between the playfield wood and the socket on the huge board, to hold it from flexing.   They just have to be careful of nearby LEDs.

Assuming it isn't the connector from the coil to the driver board.

Those driver boards are interchangeable, I'd swap it with another one to see if the board is the problem.
Could be the coil too, where the hold windings are broken internally or where the thin wire goes to the lug. A break there can be hard to see.

It's not going to be software.
The driver board the castle gate coils wires go to. Unscrew the small driver board, no need to remove the connectors. Unplug the small driver board from the huge board below the playfield. There is a row of ten pins along one edge that plugs them together. Plug the small driver board back into the huge board and push the tops of those pins in to be sure it is seated good into the huge board.
And this - People have had problems reseating the solenoid driver boards due to the huge board flexing away when they push in the pins.   A solution that worked was having them put a piece of foam or cardboard between the playfield wood and the socket on the huge board, to hold it from flexing.   They just have to be careful of nearby LEDs.

There is a switch on the green moat under the playfield, be sure it is on and working.
Whether you replace the gate, or the whole assembly with the Mantis one. It is a bit of work.

Take two castle tower caps off, slide castle front off. Remove the brick/metal decoration right inside the castle. Then from under the playfield, remove the moat., disconnect the connectors for gate and drawbridge, then remove screws and remove the whole assembly. Then take it apart to get at the gate.

Hello
There is a long metal blade going into the troll face with two threaded holes. So you have that long metal blade - troll face - then the screws. You slip the troll face over that blade so it is inside the troll face, then install the screws.
Thank you,Lloyd

Was welded, now broken. You either need to weld it, or get a new troll carriage.

If the problem comes back. Find the driver board both troll solenoids plug onto under the playfield. You don't have to remove the connectors. Remove the screws holding the driver board to the huge board under the playfield. Unplug the driver board from the huge board, there is a row of ten pins on one edge plugging them together. Then plug the driver board back in, and push that row in firmly. Replace the screws.
Thank you,LTG : )
