I swapped playfields on my Firepower about two years ago and after the swap everything worked fine. Almost a year ago I moved into a new house and just recently I finally had time to setup my pins (I've been redoing my basement). Firepower is having an issue if you lock a ball, two balls eject into the shooter lane. I'm pretty sure what's happening is that one of the switches in the trough "thinks" that it didn't eject a ball. I ran a switch test and everything shows good. Just to let you know, the trough switches are micro switches, which I don't think are original to Firepower.

Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone have an idea? There are 3 switches in the trough and I'm pretty sure it's not the ball drain switch. I'm guessing it would have to be one of the other two. But, it could be something else entirely that I'm not getting.

Use switch test. Check the lock holes, outhole, trough, shooter lane, etc. You have one stuck closed. Probably the middle or left trough one if i would take a wild guess.

Sorry to make this a Zombie thread but did this issue ever get resolved? I'm experiencing the exact same issue with my FP. Switch test is fine all the switches seem to be functional and reasonably well in adjustment, could we be looking at a ghosting issue due to a bad diode?
