E: So rather than start a new thread, I figured I'd just ask here.
Everything was working great yesterday. Today, I turned on my game, started playing, and noticed that the ball wasn't spinning anymore. Goalie works fine, flippers work fine, etc etc. I went into the solenoid test, and the ball doesn't spin there, either.
So I checked the wires and everything was good on the ball. Reseated the connection on the Motor board. Checked the connections on the Power Driver Board...Everything is good.
Any idea what else I can check to see what's up?
==============
So I recently reassembled my WCS94 that I've been working on. Prior to taking everything apart, the game was playable, albeit with some issues. Now that everything is back together, I am running into some weird issues. I sort of expected this, but I don't really know where to begin.
As some of the issues are super hard to explain, I decided to shoot a quick video before work this morning. If you have 8 minutes and a desire to help a newbie out, please check the video out and see if you can't weigh in on what's going on!
For the sake of completeness, I'll do my best to at least list the basic issues I'm running into. The video obviously shows everything much better than I could type.
1) The coin door does a bunch of weird things. Two of the buttons register twice per push. Also, the way a Stern game works is that when you open the door, the game "knows". In the case of my WCS, it doesn't really know unless I press the bottom door switch (which I think is the memory protect switch) and hit Enter. You can see what I mean in the video - this one is hard to explain. Also, the locking mech is funky.
2) Some of inserts are out. The only connector not hooked up is the GI connector (J121 I think?). The only reason that's the case is because I am still waiting for my tool to arrive to put the pins on the wires. I can't imagine this would be related to the random inserts not working. The ones I remember not working (that I'm pretty sure are NOT tied to GI) are: 2 of the cities, the kickout holes, the start button, and the pops (these MAY be GI).
3) None of the solenoids work. I'm sure they're OK as all of them worked prior to taking things apart. Nothing has been re-wired wrong (I took EXTRA care to label everything very carefully). Could be a fuse? Or a short? Or...I have no idea.
4) A few switches appear to be out. The kickback switch doesn't work, which would explain why that feature wasn't working before. and the ball lock switch near the post is out, which would explain why the ball wouldn't lock. The left kickout hole switch doesn't work, which explains why the ball never kicked out BUT popped during ball search. Could be a few more, but none that I was able to find in my cursory review.
5) The trough opto is a special kind of frustrating. If I turn the game on with 5 balls (and get the boot right), the game tells me there's an error and I have to remove a ball and reboot. If I do this and get to the game start portion, the game won't recognize the start button unless the 5th ball is placed back into the trough. I am a bit lost on this one.
Again, if you have time to watch the video, it would be MUCH more explanatory as some of the issues are hard to put into words. If you have ANY thoughts on where I could begin, I'd appreciate it!
