Hey Guys,

Just picked up my first newer Stern HUO game and it is beautiful, clean, hardly played. I'm so excited.

Anyway, the only "flaw" if you will, is something that I can't figure out. During play when you see "Extra Ball is Lit" on the DMD, the insert doesn't light up on the playfield. You have to go into the Scarecrow hole for the EB and you get the EB when you do after the DMD says so, but it's not lit up like I said. The lamp is good as it comes on when the game is on but not being played when all the lights light up.

Any ideas? Software glitch? Thanks so much.

Thanks for the concern, guys. I am running what I think is the latest version (2.94). It seems that everything is back in order. It was the same problem that I was having with other lights- finicky sockets. This is my first newer Stern game and the playfield sockets are something completely new to me. A few of the lights kept coming on then going off. The Extra Ball Light must've been one of them. When I took the socket out and noticed one of the two wires going through it almost coming out, I wedged it back in there with a flat screw driver. Seems to have solved the problem. Is there a better technique when you run into this problem? Thanks.
