Hi All,
Looking for some help with my Aerosmith pro. Having issues with my toy box motor and was hoping to see if anyone had any suggestions or if this has happened to them. When initially playing my game after it has been off for a while I have no issues but as I play for a bit the motor for the lifting mechanism seems to go dead- no effort, grinding or getting wedged- just doesn't do anything. I've checked all connections and they're all good. when attempting to do the feature test the motor doesn't even try to cycle when this is happening. Other times its fine and has no issues in play or in test mode. Also I've noticed intermittently the platform that the balls would sit on does not fully reach the lip dumping the balls occasionally. Any suggestions on where to start? New to working on machines and would like to try and avoid having a professional come out to take care of it.
Thanks!

There are two switches on the motor assembly that tell the motor when it's all the way up and all the way down. Adjusting those may help with the platform not reaching the lip. For the motor, if you're sure the connections are all good, take a look at your serial motor board. If you have a multi-meter, CN2 is the plug that has the motor drives. See what voltage you're getting there when the motor should be running, versus when the motor is off. It'll help narrow down what's broken.

Thanks cadillac. Was able to narrow it down. Was actually a poor connection on node board 8a. Connector CN1 to be exact. The connection seems tight but it still wasn’t making connection. Seems to be back up and running without issue now!!!
