Restoring my game. Everything worked prior to the tear down. After reassembling the game the long opto no longer worked. I have replaced it and I don't have any switch errors. I am now getting a magnet load error. At game startup it will launch 4 balls into the right mist ball staging area. Hold each ball for about 3 seconds and then release it down into the trough. After the fourth ball it just stops. When I run the magnet test, everything seems to work properly. It launches a ball, opens the gate, takes the ball to the left side of the playfield, brings the ball back to the right side of the playfield, and then the motor runs left and right without the ball. However, I do get a magnet fault 09 even though the test seems to show everything is working properly. Anyone know what this means?

Thanks

Yes, no switch errors.

I tested each opto in the switch edges test and they all seem to register fine.

The problem ended up being that the ball when in the right pocket was too low to break the beam of the opto. I had to raise where the ball sits so it would trip the switch. Thanks for the help guys.
