Can someone with a Dirty Harry machine please go into "Magnet Test" and see if the test actually works.

I have a game here that the magnet works in solenoid test and the optic switch 42 also works in switch test mode however in "Magnet test" the test does not function properly.

When entering "Magnet test" the box for optic 42 switch is lit and for a split second the magnet is energized and the box for the magnet is checked on the DMD, then the magnet turns off and the box on the DMD for the magnet goes off. Once this happens the magnet is no longer energized and by activating switch 42 optic no longer energizes the magnet or indicates so on the DMD display.

Please don't ask if the coin door is closed. This is not the problem.

I also removed the CPU and put it on a WPC test fixture with the same results. I then used a different CPU and again received the same results. I have revision 2 CPU software. The only thing common between the two different CPU boards is the PIC. chip which happens to be a shifted bit chip.

I am wondering if the "Magnet test" actually works in another machine or maybe the test portion has a bug seeing both the magnet and switch work fine in individual tests.

Anyone with a machine that could confirm proper operation of the "Magnet test" would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

As stated in write up. This is not a Coin Door issue.

Thank you for testing for me.

I wonder if this shifted bit chip could play any factor here.

Yes. Thank you.

The optic works and the magnet works but will not work in test mode under the "Magnet test"

When i roll the ball the opto box lights on the DMD but the box on the DMD for the magnet and magnet itself do not activate.

I would like to clarify with you that you did this rolled the ball up there in TEST mode and not game mode? And also if you could let me know what version the software is in your game.

I have just spoken to s second person with this same problem.

New Image.JPGI sounds like i have a very interesting problem here.

This game defiantly is not working in test mode however it occasionally works during game play.

In T3 Single switch mode test does your screen look like this?

Let me start with i am aware of the "Magnet" test. When i put the game into "Magnet test" for about one second the box for the coil lights and the coil energizes. The coil checked box goes out and then that's it. This happens as soon as i hit enter on the coin door. Then I can pass the ball by the optic and the optic box will "check" but i never see the "Magnet box " light up.

Somebody above posted that there's grabs the ball for a second and lets it go.
