Hi guys. My DE Tommy pinball machine when booting on gives me a (1 ball missing) error, There is not a missing ball, I have 6 in there which are required. When

It kicks all the bumpers etc on looking for it when I press start. 3 times this happens, then it lets me play normally. Anyone got an idea on what to check first?

Thanks.

Quoted from LTG:

Ball trough switches. Balls sitting on them ? Switch test - roll a ball on them - do they all work ?
LTG : )

All the switches "look" fine, no broken solder and all the switches... switch? They have the balls touching etc. Is there a way to preform a switch test?

Quoted from LTG:

Yes - go into diagnostics then to switch test.
Your manual explains it. If you don't have a manual, you can download it from here - https://www.ipdb.org/search.pl
LTG : )

I've got it. Now I just have to figure out how to read it Thanks I'll try that in a bit.
