All the diodes on the ball lane switches have blown. What could have caused this? I don't want to change all the diodes until I find out what caused it. The only thing I did was change the dmd to color led dmd. Since then after a few games the game would tilt just after hitting the Martian targets. Anyone have an idea. Please help

Yes. You are right. It's the diodes. Just frustrated and tired. I checked them with the meter and the diodes have open current going both ways. Can anyone send me photos of the orientation of the diodes for the Martian targets.

Okay I only took 4 out. I will check each one.

#8 6 years ago

Yes. I did.

#9 6 years ago

Yes. I did change the diodes in the Martians. I just need to see the orientation of the diodes to see if I got it wrong

I will try it and let you know. Thank you

I fixed it at 5am. I can't believe just reversing one diode could cause all this problem. Thanks for everyone's help. Have a wonderful day
