Hello to all!

I have demo man that started to act funny, the shooting (plunger) coil will start firing randomly during gameplay (maybe 3-6 "fires"), making it very (and I mean) very hot, hotter than the flipper's coils.

Any idea on what's goin on?

Many thanks!

Probably your shooter lane switch is flaky.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

At the beginning I thought about this one, last night I adjusted it so when the ball is ejected into the shooting lane, the switch is fully depressed... but still. I ran the switch test and no errors where returned.

Any other idea?

Thanks!

I would agree with Levi. You can try disconnecting the switch to see if helps.

But this is just a shot, did you check the thru ball optos? It's a common failure and can confuse the cpu on the ball's location.
