Hi, I just picked up this D&D ... Everything "seems" to be working properly when it is turned on > however, it will not start the game. I have tried dropping 2 quarters in coin slot > makes sound but screen never says 1/2 credit or 1 credit ... and when press START/COIN DOOR button > nothing happens ... also tried setting to FREE PLAY (65 and hit ENTER on Key pad) ... and nothing (BTW > Screen never said FREE PLAY) ... the only thing I have done to game is replaced the broken GROUND STRAP from coin door to cabinet with a thick piece of wire ... Fuses look good but haven't checked them ... Could it be a fuse? or could the START/CREDIT button on coin door be bad (or that diode on that switch got fried?) ... Coin door switch is definitely making contact ... THANKS

I always pull all the fuses on any new game--not only to test them, but to verify they're the correct type and rating. If fuses look good, try the switch test and see if it recognizes when you push the start button (make sure the balls are out of the game when you do this)...come to think of it, do you have the correct amount of balls in the game?

CORRECT NUMBER OF BALLS > It should ... I worked for years (according to guy I got it from) ... I will check that tho !! BTW > Boards look good ... remote mounted battery ... probably dead ... (guy had it for 15 years but hadn't played it in few years) ...

ALSO > will try SELF TEST and then check fuses

THANKS !!

It does say FREE PLAY on the display (after I program that setting) ...

tried self test > couldn't get to test credit switch ..?

took out all fuses and tested (all good) and cleaned ends with a Scotch Bite pad > GAME WORKS !!!!! WOO HOO !!
