Hello,

I would like to ask you for the help with our BSD. There is a problem with the falling ball from the "Mist loading place" during the game when you don´t start Mist multiball so you always play with two balls. I made a magnet test and there is only one problem with "Power error" so it correctly loads the ball, moves it left and right but when it is near the right loading place, the ball falls down. I don´t understand it because sometimes everything works great and sometimes not. I have checked the cables on the magnet and I think they are OK.

Thank you!

You have a cable problem. The cable is broken somewhere internally (towards magnet / and switch). Mostly it works but when strecthed for example it doesn't. You should replace the cable.

Am I right when I think that you mean the "phone cable"?

Thank you!

Hello,

I have played some games and the same problem is back. Are there please any other wires who should I replace?

Thank you!

I think you should go in test till were it falls down and then go to switch and solenoid test and see if you still get power to the magnet. And if the switch still works to detect that the ball is on the magnet.

If this seems to work ok, then check the long beam opto.

Also make sure the home switches for the manget work ok and do not get triggered by the movement of the phone cable wire, etc...
