Quoted from PinHead25:Hello fellow getaway owners,
I recently restored my getaway and have been playing the crap out of it( maybe too much). Well anyways I was in multiball and my supercharger was getting heavy use, then all of a sudden it died on me. When I go into test mode none of the optos are working, though they were before. Anybody else have this issue before and know how to fix this? I believe the issue lies on that opto board on the bottom of the playfield. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some of the result pictures[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
A year or so ago, I believe I had the diverter, and the SC magnet optos show up with errors at the same time. I never tried to test them in test mode. I looked over the wiring to these devices and saw something that told me might cause a short, so I rearranged the wiring somewhat (just pushing a few of the wires away from solder connections for other wires that they seemed too close to) and the problem went away. I've also had the SC entrance ramp opto show up with an error a couple of times and just shuffled the wires (in that area) around a bit and the problem again went away. Other times I experienced some device on the game that just stop working, and it turned out to be a wire that broke free from a solder connection, so I suggest you inspect the wiring to the devices that aren't working. If it is a wiring problem, only one wire with a short or break could cause more than one device to not work. Hope this helps.
