So I had a pinball repair tech over to my house to work on two of my machines.
He got my hardbody working nicely... That sounds a bit weird and gross, but its true. Its nice and toned now.
But, it appears my breakshots MPU board went all kinds of crazy.
So I either need to find someone who can repair those, or a replacement board, as sadly the tech doesn't have the experience to fix the board. Which is understandable. As its a rarer type of board compared to most pins.
Any help would be appreciated. I really, really would like to get my Breakshot up and running again, as that is the gem of my collection. Just a really nice and clever machine. And I am crestfalled, its not working. And even though its a money pit. I still love her.

Its not the capacitor.
Its the main mpu board. Which is the small board that is attached on the same panel as the dmd.
He tested it with all the voltages and checked for broken wires. And he doesn't want to mess with it, because the chip in question is an embedded chip.
I just want my breakshot to work. I'll email him and get the specifics.
I'm just really, really bummed. As breakshot has turned into a total money hog.
Still not the end of the world. But, I really, really want it fixed. It's one of my all time favorite games. Not just of the games I own, but all the ones I played.
There has to be someone out there who fixes these things.

Guess it wasn't rare... Until they decided to remake BBB... GRRRR... Chips are chips man... If I have to make my own board. I might just have to do that!!!
I'm only half joking. But, I bet all the components are at mouser to buy. But, thanks... I'll shoot them an email when I get more information.
The more detailed I get the better. Just really, super bummed right now. Its like breaking up with your gf and then she's still hanging out at your place.

Okay. So I got more details. This is what the repair tech said happens:
"The game comes up but the center post keeps going up and down eventually fails the test like the game doesn't see the switch that says if the post is up or down. The switch itself is working. When opening the coin door the diagnostic screen does not come up. Again the switch is OK. To be sure I jumpered across J9 pins 9 and 10 on the CPU board and still no self test. Fuses are good. DC voltages are good. I reseated cables including the large ribbon cable and no change. It appears that the switch matrix is dead. I can see the voltages changing when grounding J9 pin 9. The first suspect IC in my mind would be U11 but the problem could be farther into the board."
I've attached pictures of the board. So again... Open to suggestions and if anyone knows anyone who does work on these let me know. I will be contacting the person in St. Louis, but I figure the more contacts the better odds of finding someone.

He did a thing that jumped or bypassed and directly jacked into the board itself to trigger or tell the board that the coin door was open, and it still did nothing.
There are other problems too as the start button won't register. Game is just going all to hell on me.
Any more suggestions on people who might be able to fix it?
