Where did you get those from?

Having a weird issue.......

If I turn the game on for the first time on a given day, start a game, and instead of a ball being ejected to start a ball....the auto launcher in the shooter lane just goes nuts, activating over and over again.....I need to then turn game off then back on again, start a game, and the process repeats 2 or 3 times.....then on 3rd or 4th try, game will start as normal...with a ball being ejected to start the game

What are some troubleshooting steps I can take to locate the cause?

Any tips before I delve into this issue

Left fire button, as I understand, it's purpose is to allow you to switch game modes, and also, during a ball in play, when it says on the display, press left fire button to launch ball.....it is supposed to launch an additional ball?

Well, it is not launching an additional ball, but it allows to switch between game modes

I'm told that f the left fire button isn't pressed before it times out, then the additional ball will auto launch.....this isn't happening

Pretty new to this game, so still learning the game play

Some advice or troubleshooting tips would be most welcome

Cheers and keep flippin!

Quoted from trolldownstairs:

The left fire button has two functions. One to select modes, and other is to launch the ball when it gets dropped into the left lane from the Air Raid ramp. It doesn't launch a second ball.

Okay, thanks......so, in gameplay.....when the display shows up, hit left fire button to launch ball.....you still need to first get the ball dropped into left lane?

I'm a little confused why it would come up on the display this message before the ball is ready to be launched?

#4613 1 year ago
Quoted from KoP:

That message should only pop up when the ball is already in the left shooterlane. So check the left shooterlane switch and/or the switch matrix.

Is this what is called the left shooter lane?

The ball has always auto launched out instantly for me.....I'll play another game and see what happens

Quoted from trolldownstairs:

If the ball just happens to end up in that lane randomly, it will auto shoot. It only has you fire it if you've gone up the air raid ramp, and dropped it into that lane.

Ahh....I think I get it now.....so, once air raid mode is activated....a timer is started for you to shoot ball into air raid ramp, which puts ball into left shooter lane, then use left fire button to launch ball at judge targets?

If that is all correct, what needs to be done to activate air raid mode?

#4617 1 year ago
Quoted from clempo:

When the air raid light is on, shooting that ramp will deposit the ball in the left lane and the machine will wait for you to press the left fire button to aim at the rotating lit drop target.

Yep, got it.....

Hmm.....

My JD machine

When I first got it, it kept factory restoring each time I turned it on....set to freeplay and a game would start just fine...so, replaced the battery only like 2 months ago, and it was fine after that.....till tonight, turned it on and it factory restored.....set it to free play and started a game, game started but showed missing balls......but they were there..... turned machine off and back on again, and it reset factory settings.....

Anyone with any tips on what to look at first

Okay, had my JD as swapped for a few months now.....had other priorities, but almost time to turn my attention on a partial restore on my JD, first think off the rank, which I'm sure is a comment thing on this game, is my right flipper switch design is much more sensitive than the left, what are people's experiencing in balancing these out to give the same switch resistance....I hate it when they are out of balance
