Quoted from Darkslide632:

I don't know anyone who buys a brand new car, finds out there is something wrong with it, and goes "Oh well! Shit happens!" Nor do I know of any cars that get recalled because some main feature, easily noticed by everyone who drives it, is fucked up. Slimer is right smack-dab in the middle of the playfield. How many cars do you know that were recalled because "Oh, hey, guys, sorry... we forgot to install the rear-view mirror"

I get two hours to do a "pre delivery" on a new car to find faults, maybe distributors should do this with pinballs?

Quoted from venom112:

So my Magana slings don't seem to be very responsive is anyone else having that issue is there an adjustment that needs to be made? Of course I am not expecting them to be like traditional slings but I am getting a lot of little dribbles that drain without the sling firing at all. Any help is appreciated..

Check the sling shot switch to start with,

Howdy all.. I have a strange problem with my LE. I had a new playfield fitted 5 months ago and put 50 games on it with no issues.
So after not playing it for 2 or so months fired it up and all is well until Slimer (ghost target) is hit. The machine locks up and the sound starts cutting out then the machine resets.
Slimer does not work (swing out) in test. I have disabled Slimer and no resets.
I have checked all the wiring and plugs, all o.k
So.. is this a node board issue?
Has anyone had this happen to thier machine?
Thanks in advance.

Quoted from arcadenerd925:

I had this EXACT same problem. Pull up your PF so that it is resting against the backbox. At the very bottom adjacent to the slimer moter is the "motor control board" (I forget exactly what its called, but the wires to the motor will go there). In my case, there is a molex connector that plugs in to the bottom that is part of the big wire harness going around the bottom there, mine pulled out and exhibited the exact same behavior as yours. Check and see if you have a plug loose our pulled out back there.

Thanks for the reply, I will recheck when I get home. I did pull the plug off the motor board to the motor,to see if the motor was shorting out or doing a voltage drop. But still resets with it unpluged
