Hi there,
yesterday the airlock-display started flickering and then completely went off.
Now the game won´t start and the message "IO board 1 missing" appears.
I´ve changed the IO board but with no effect.....(guessed No.1 is the one located in the top of the playfield?? 
)
Any ideas?

Quoted from fuko:I'll be very interested to see what parts from the new PB Alien could be used to repair/upgrade a HW Alien.
Plastics for sure. That's great news.
Facehuggers with a broken tail, maybe?
PCB and anything else: probably a long shot.
I mailed with PB asking the same question and they said:
"We don´t think so"
What an answer...
Quoted from Ferret:That’s likely the only correct answer. If you just compare the underside of the Heighway Alien vs the Pinball Bros Alien, it’s clear that there is little in common between the builds.
Okay, thanks ferret...I never seen any technical details of the new machine
Quoted from Averell:Check the small driver circuit behind the panel in the back of the playfield.
Often it's toasted... you can order this thing on Ebay.

It doesn´t look toasted...maybe still a cable issue?
IMG_3107[1] (resized).JPGQuoted from MK6PIN:Any noise when in test mode? If you can hear ( slightly) something but jaw not moving it could be the stepper motor gears are stripped ( early ones were plastic) strong, cheap metal geared versions available...just a thought..
Thanks, new metal geared Stepper motor was installed weeks ago..can´t be the problem

Quoted from Mik-ReadingUK:Gameroom.no still have the switch boards so hopefully I can reuse the target shell with them. I'll post the result when they eventually turn up.
I´ve swapped the switch boards or just the switches several times...I´m bored of it.
Hopefully the redesign by PB is more reliable and fits in the old Heighways?

Quoted from MK6PIN:What version of boards? What software?
Same board, same failure point? Upstream might be the correct path to check....board just taking the brunt of what's going on...
board v. 1.4B, software 1.4
i´m no professional, where should i check "upstream"?

Quoted from chucky87:Hi everyone here is my 1st backglass lighting test like the lighting of the blades and the backboard. Small modifications must still be made but already this changes everything and gives all its splendor to the backglass. It's up to you to make up your mind with the images.

Fantastic! I´m in for one if it´s not too pricey
