Working on a Doctor Who, and I've run into a strange issue. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Current Symptoms:
- Game sometimes thinks the coin door buttons are being pressed, randomly, even in attract mode. It seems to be infrequent, sometimes it happens every few minutes, sometimes not at all for a while. If the door is closed, I get a message saying to open the coin door to use the coin door buttons. If the door is open, it will trigger the test menu.
- During gameplay, when I hit the lower right ramp and trigger Switch 37 ("Score Bottom Ramp"), the flippers will all trigger and hold for a second or so, and then return to normal. All 3 flippers do this simultaneously. Sometimes after this happens, the game also thinks someone is pressing a coin door button again as well, but not often.
MPU has no obvious corrosion issues, but I swapped it with another Doctor Who MPU from a known good game, and the same problems exist. Just in case, I replaced U19 (Quad comparator) and U20 on my MPU, no change. I unplugged J205, but the game still thought someone was occasionally pressing the coin door buttons.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what might cause this odd behavior? I've never run into this issue before. I can post a vid if it helps, just let me know.
