My game has been running great with little to no issues. Today however my son and I were playing a game and Thing's hand came out and picked up the ball in the saucer and then it went back inside it's box. That was the last we saw of Thing!

Thing no longer comes out because the motor is not operating. There is "no voltage" at the motor when I put it running in test mode like there is with the bookcase motor. I have double checked the connections on the small board, made sure everything is plugged in correctly, wiggled connections but I can't get Thing's motor to move because of the missing voltage.

Any suggestions? I have researched this and see I'm not the only one to have this problem, but none of the threads I reviewed have a follow up from the owner to say what did and didn't work. Maybe someone here has a fix!

***UPDATE*** I did a continuity check and sure enough there is a break somewhere and I think it's in the 4 pin connector. More to come...

Thanks,

New connectors installed. I also re-punched the connectors that go to the small power boards. All is well again!
