Yep. The subject says it all. I also have the saucer motor not working (the saucer doesn't shake anymore)
All other solenoid are working. Solder joints looks good. Fuses too.
Any idea?
Thanks

Drop target - physically stuck closed ? Easy to remove and clean it. Two connectors and some screws. Switch not working that lets game know if it's down or up ? Fix the broken solder joint on the switch, check the wires and diode.
Saucer motor - power at motor ? power going to board it plugs onto ? Not much there.

No motor in the saucer. It's a solenoid that creates the exploding action. Therefore, if it's not working, then all your solenoids aren't in fact working.
If the drop isn't resetting, check the switch at the bottom that's actuated by the finger tab on the plunger. The metal switch actuator is long and thin and is prone to bending over time. It may have bent enough it's not letting the game know the drop is in the down position and needs reset.
Quoted from Skins:No motor in the saucer. It's a solinoid. So if it's not working, then all your solenoids aren't in fact working.
Check fuse for drop target and saucer first. F103 it's a 2 1/2 amp slow blow.

Be sure to check the game settings too. There is a way to disable certain features in the game from the menu options.

The drop Target stucked close is an error I get when going in service.
The drop Target switch is registering without problem.
Now I realize that solenoid 9 to 16 aren't working. I changed F103 with no success.
Quoted from Cheese_WizardPQ:changed F103 with no success.
Pull the new F103 and check with a meter. If it's good. Then start checking for a broken wire from board to 9 to 16.
