Just got a di over the weekend. Does anyone have a relatively inexpensive way to brighten up the playfield with some spotlights or something? I've done it on older games using matrix kits, but jjp obviously doesn't have the normal gi lights to tap into. Appreciate the help

I have jjp pirates and it's lit way better. Unless I'm missing something the di is extremely dark. I had guests over for the weekend and they also asked why it was so dark. I intend on putting a few spotlights on but I am not familiar with how to hook them up for a jjp machine as I said in my post. Is there some sort of spotlight kit for jjp machines?

It's used, the only led setting I see is for insert brightness. I turned it to high, but it's still dark specifically in the middle of the playfield. Pirates has spotlights to light the middle and it makes a big difference. That's what I'm trying to achieve.

Fair enough, I just figured a spotlight or two would make the art pop in the middle of the playfield like it does in pirates. If there's an easy way to add spotlights to a jjp machine, I'd appreciate any input.

I always reset factory settings as well. No lights are out, you can see my comparison picture between pirates and di, there's basically no lighting in the middle of the playfield. That's why I was hoping to add spotlights to the slings or something. It's not like it's unplayable, just wanted to make the art pop. I think it's too pretty to keep it dark.

I had pinstadium on my mmr because it came with it from a trade. They were pretty awesome, but I just can't see paying that much money for them. If they were more reasonably priced I'd be all for them. I'll try the lighting from lermods and see how that is. Or I'll rig up two spotlights tapping into the coin door inserts. Thanks for the input.

I wanted to try adding spotlights by using the matrix system from comet. I basically just tapped into the 12v coin door insert lights. I'm going to do a second spotlight on the other sling, but I'm happy with how the first turned out already. It makes the center field art pop so much better.

It does stay lit just like pirates spotlights stay lit during gameplay. I don't think it takes away from any light shows, only improves the art in my opinion.

Something must be wrong with my pirates spotlights then. I just played several games and had different multiballs going and different modes, they never went off.

OK anyone know? It concerns me if something is wrong with my spotlights on pirates.

I traded for a DI with a playfield protector already installed. The ball gets stuck on the QED guy slot quite often because of the added depth from the protector. Does anyone have a suggestion to help alleviate the ball getting stuck there so often? I've obviously thought about taking the playfield protector off, it's just a lot of work. I also realize you can just wait for a ball search to be performed which does put the ball back in play.

Need a little help with my phone scoop. In test menu, the phone scoop is stuck closed. I took off the optos and it still shows closed. Happened during a game and I don't know what's causing it. Maybe the optos are bad?

Ball does not register when put in scoop. Checked all the plugs, no luck. All other switches in line on test mode work fine, the scoop is the only issue.

Thanks, I tried that. For some reason taking the optos off and lining them up made them work properly. So I figured it was an alignment issue. Putting them back though, didn't work again. So I reversed them and all the sudden it worked. I truly don't know why it made them work. But I'm happy it's working haha.

Curious if anyone has created a decent decal for a pingulp for this game? I put decals on all my pingulps for each of my games but can't find anything particular I like for DI from doing a google search for "drone decal", or "ufo", etc. I don't want more emogi decals lol.

Thanks, that may be the best route to take. I was hoping someone had already made decals for DI. All the other pins I have owned have had some type of decal already available for easy purchase. I'm really surprised DI doesn't have anything readily available or something a member has already created.

Thanks, I have seen those. I can't justify paying almost $50 for their pingulps and I personally think they look way too generic. They overprice all their pingulps for some reason compared to much better looking ones like tilt graphics sells.

Phone just randomly stopped showing video, any recommendations? When I start the machine it shows "vga" but then doesn't come on. I made sure the connection was OK.

I swapped the vga cables for the theater and the phone shows up on the theater properly. I even tried a different vga cable for the phone but it's still just black. As I stated though, it does show "vga" and a blue screen when booting. But nothing after that. It won't show the theater on the phone display either.

Damn, I've never replaced so many parts on newer pinball machines as I have my potc and di jersey jacks. Guess I'll have to try to get in touch with support, not sure if they are currently open or not

Phone scoop eject just started having an issue that didn't exist before.

I have the latest code, game boots up, then the coil starts shooting rapidly about 10 times, then it stops. This also happens when closing the coin door which activates the power switches. During gameplay it works fine.

Any advice is appreciated.
