Hi,
I have a weird problem on my fish tales, when I shoot the captive ball, I can't go further than "hold bonus", whatever I do, it is stuck on it, impossible to get the video mode or more... target is good and respond correctly in test and everything seems to be well connected under playfield. I tried a factory reset but nothing changed.... have you guys any ideas...?
Quoted from Roamin:What do you mean ? Is video mode flashing green and ready to be collected ? Or is video more not flashing , not solid green, just not lit ? My very first idea with your problem is to ask if you've increased the captive ball by doing a long cast ? In order you must hit switch #26 , Left return lane. This will light the long cast. Once long cast is lit , you must hit switch 62 and then 64 (Top right loop then top left loop) and this will increase captive ball to the next item.
Or do you mean that it's enabled and flashing , but hitting the captive ball once more after collecting hold bonus just won't collect the video mode ?
Edit: oops I had a picture for you.[quoted image]
Thanks Roamin, I tried what you said but unfortunatly, whatever switch I hit (long cast, etc..) , it does not change anything, the video mode, never flash...it is always stuck on the first one. The long cast switch register in test and game play, but never increase captive ball value.
I saw a video where the payer, once hit the captive ball, it increase to the next level....that's what it ii supposed to be... I even changed the rom, nothing better, I finally set up the game to easy, and it allows me to get access to the video mode, once I hit the captive ball, but once again, it's stuck on this level, impossible to go further... I really don't know what's going on with this pin...
@roamin: I will keep write in english in case my problem may help others. So I checked all switches which were all good, then when you talked about the gate which was supposed to open to make the long cast possible, I realised that it did not open correctly.. Closer, I could see that the spring was not in his correct position! Once back in place, everything went back in good order!! So thanks to you my pin is now fully functional!
Merci beaucoup pour ton aide!!
