had this same issue on my LAH. turned out to be one of the ball trough switches diodes solder point was broke. do what pin mike said and check switches first and if that dont work try resoldering the diodes.

Quoted from Trackrocket:

Ssathra, you're the man...the middle switch had a loose diode...I checked it a few hours ago and couldn't see anything wrong...messed around with it and played the machine, would only give me my first ball (single) and that was it...so figured I jostled something???

Got in there again and figured out the diode was definitely loose...just resoldered it and BAM!!

Checkpoint awesomeness!

Thanks a bunch, really appreciate it...I knew it had to be something crazy simple!

I'm happy to help and glad you got it fixed!

forum subscriptions aren't available. I just asked this last week... I believe that Robin and the guys are concerned about the load it would place on the sites email server. but I'm with you, I would fealty like to see this implemented.
