Hello
I want share my experience to you after trying 1.18 on my Metallica LE, in FRANCE.

So at the beginning, maybe 15 games, the coffin magnet was "fine" with some phantom hammer drops.
After a few more games coffin magnet was working only sometimes.
And now, the magnet is not powering anymore.
It's the same when i go to the menu to test the coffin magnet (detect/grab), with the door closed.

I only can hear a little "bzz" on the little card, when i start the magnet in test, but there is no led lit on the board. I also checked the wires, whitch looks ok. it didnt smell burn.

Do any of you can tell me if there is any led lit on the little board, when activating or not the magnet ?
And if any of you have any idea where i could search, i would be glad to read.
I will send an email to stern.

I actually think that my board have a problem after playing lots of game (250).

(sorry for my english)

After your answer, Phoebe, i tried to look at the board when the game is first turned on.
So on mine, the green LED is flashing 3 times then it goes off.
How many flashes on yours ?
And starting the coffin magnet test, does it flashes too ?

Help needed.

I juste received a new magnet for the coffin, but can't succeed to remove the old one.

Do anyone know how to remove the magnet, please ?

(for sure, at first i remove the 3 connectors and the 6 screws, to take back the full mecanism)

Thanks for answer.
