I am an older Gentleman that purchased a 'Bally Pool Sharks' pinball machine. The machine has worked perfect for the last month. When purchased I was told the lock for the back box was bad, everything else was fine. So today I changed the lock (I like all things to be right) and while in the back box I changed the batteries out. (batteries have been moved from the board to a remote holder!) I left the machine plugged in, but not turned on. When I buttoned everything back up and turned it on I got the message Adjustment Failure. I have the manuals for the machine BUT, not wanting to screw anything else up I thought I would ask for advice from you folks on the forum. Any help would really be appreciated. Gary

When you removed the battery, you cleared all the games settings.

You need to enter the menu (via the buttons inside the coin door) … scroll through and reinstall FREE PLAY (push start button to toggle yes/no) then run all the way to the end of the settings menu and the game will reboot.

If your new batteries are ok, and the battery holder is ok (they do break) then the game will retain the settings and you won’t see that message again.

RD is exactly correct, as usual.
Changing the batteries is about the only pinball maintenance that you actually want to do with the game turned on. That way your settings will not be lost.

Thank you guys for your info. Being new (to me) I panicked! Followed the instructions and it is back as before. Greatly appreciated!! Gary
