My Ali has recently stopped lighting the spinner for an Extra ball after spelling GREATEST.

Game plays fine otherwise.
I have a suspicion that I might have a Switch Matrix issue going on... But nothing too obvious.

Could a Switch Matrix issue be related to the lack of EB getting lit or scored?
Kinda thought it is unlikely as I light all the GREATEST letters and the EB is mpu controlled.

This issue of not offering up an extra ball seems to resolved itself after I reset some of the audits.

After first noticing the EB issue I started having display issues. When in attract last game scores were fine but high score to date would be missing digits.

In test mode displays were fine but funny things when displaying audits and switch tests.

I believe resetting the high score at the door solved the data issue.

Strange, thanks for posting. You can turn the that EB feature off using the physical dip switches. I didn't realize this until I owned two Ali machines.
