Hello everyone.
It's not a long time I'm owner of this pinball, but I really like the game, the colours, the music and the lights really much.
The fish is spectacular
I bought it from another private owner who didn't treated it very well. It needs some restoration, but you can still play some games.

Yesterday I turned on the pin: test ok, light on, started the game (free play), launched the ball, pushed the flipper button...
the machine shutted down and restarted to do the test.
I tryed some times and it shuts down and restarts from the test every time I push the right or the left flipper button.

Any ideas what do I have to look to ?

Thx in advance for the help.

Hi.
Could someone please take and post a picture of the connector showed in this pic ?
I'm restoring my PIN, the previous owner was not so careful how you can see.
Thx

Hi.
I'm having some troubles with some lamps, exactly n. 41 and 42, on the center of the playfield.
They are not lighting
Cables are ok, so bulbs (led) cause they are new.
Other lamps in the 4 column are lighting, so the other lamps in the raws 1 and 2.
I tested diodes directly on the card in the picture, all ok.
Does someone has the schematic of that card or suggestions about how to solve the issue?
What does the component circled is ?

Thanks for the suggestion and for explaining me what W1 Is.
I tested continuity and it is good.

Thank you too. I remade all the solders.
Unfortunately no news about lighting of the 2 bulbs.
Continuity of W1 Is really good, i don't think replacing it with a piece of cable will light up the bulbs.
Maybe some petrol will

I think there are no silly suggestions here. Even simple thing could be the solution.
I changed bulbs and sockets trying them in other lamps sockets. They are ok, except in sockets 41 and 42.

This PIN Is full of colour so you did a great job, in my opinion.

In the second picture the fish Is really fun.
But Mark the Mosquito will be the best solution there, awaiting Stebel will build some.

In fact I did not checked It yzfguy
Now I'm going to drive to Rome.
On wednesday I will be back and I will check It.
Thank you.

I checked everything, but I'm not founding the issue.
I could change diodes and resistor, using some times and some bucks.
Tracks are ok so bulbs and cables(otherwise will lights with same row or column not Lit).
But do someone knows the value of the resistor and the "name" of the diodes on the card posted at #5124 ?

I would re-insert all the connectors and test if all the screws that hold the boards on the backbox are correctly fastened.
Then all the fuses and the chips on the CPU board.

You mean here @mzhulk?

Still having problem, but the situation evolved.
Now the bulbs of the column 4 are lighting, but #41 and #42 are less powerful. I changed bulbs with some less good (read Chinese - only for testing, then Comet bulbs in again). It seems they receive too less electricity. But if I connect the bulbs directly to the cables, the light is good. Could someone confirm me the resistor on the board is a 2,2 kohm (Red, Red, Red, Gold stripes) ?
And more? Why a resistor there ? I think there must be a simple connection like the other fake resistor.

Thank you Zigzagzag for confirming.
Problem is now solved.
All bulbs are lighting perfectly.

Yes correct, mine Is without spring.

But I'm going to mount It

The same screws you have on the cable holders under the playfield, but the longer One, used for coils f.ex.
I suggest to add a washer, bigger than the screws, to avoid crash of the plastic.
