Quoted from bhwolf:

OK this is weird. Went into tech alerts on my premium (1.11) and seeing 3 alerts:
-Check Switch 52, Left Ramp Enter
-Check Switch 92, Left Ramp 2
-Check Switch 93, Left Ramp 3
According to the manual, switch 52 is pop exit, which is working. The 'real' left ramp enter seems to be working, too. There's no switch 92 or 93 in the manual.
Any ideas?

I just posted on a different thread because I have those same alerts running 1.05 on a premium. Would love to know how to clear them!

Ok, so having an issue with the right scoop.

First symptom was that I had some people over, and about 2-3 times in short succession the software would crash when a ball would go into the scoop. I’ve had maybe 2 other crashes total in the past 18 months, and neither could be replicated the way this one was.

I reset the software, and didn’t see issues the next 1-2 times I played it.

Now the switch has stopped registering. I checked it in switch test and it’s not reading there either. (The coil still works fine, and the ball will kick out once it goes into test mode.)

I haven’t had a chance to dig any further into it, but are there any likely causes that I should check out first? I’m wondering myself if the problem may be the node board rather than the switch itself, but I don’t know if the code glitches were just a random coincidence or not.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Bend the arm on the switch out more and if it still isn't registering, replace the switch. This is pretty common on GB scoop (and the KISS scoop). Ball just pounded switch so it doesn't register anymore.

It was a bad switch after all. Thanks for the help in diagnosing it!
