Quoted from spandol:

On my Harlem Globetrotters, I did a playfield swap. I'm not sure if my switches are hooked up correctly. I hooked up the yel/red strobe wire from the backbox to the left center spinner, to the bottom bumper, to the left bumper and then on to the left slingshot. according to the matrix if I follow in series, it should go from the left center spinner to the left slingshot, but the way this was wired previously that would be impossible. Is the way I have it wired wrong from the strobe? My left bumper is acting strange so I'm wondering if my strobe wire should follow a different path. Any ideas? Or could someone with a HG tell me how the left center spinner connects to the bottom bumper and left bumper?
Thanks vey much.

Thanks. There are different paths, but I wasn’t sure how to connect the 3 switches since I couldn’t do it in series to follow the matrix column. The left bumper isn’t working and the switch isn’t triggered in switch test. But, the left center spinner and bottom bumper work fine. Maybe it’s not anything to do with the matrix? Everything is wired as it was before, except I wasn’t sure on how to connect those 3 switches together with the strobe wire as there are 2 small yel/red wires to connect them. I tried to use logic and my photos as best I could.

I replaced the cap, but would the diode cause this issue?
The bumper does work in solenoid test.
Thanks for the info on where the connection goes on the MPU. I will check the connection there for continuity. Makes sense it might be that.

OP

Quoted from spandol:

How would I do this? The switch is spaced correctly but it doesn't show in switch test when I manually close it. I'm going to work on it now. I will change out the diode.

OP

Quoted from spandol:

Wish I would have seen that before posting, but putting a new diode in the correct direction fixed it. I do appreciate all the help.
Thanks!

OP

Quoted from spandol:

Here's another issue I could use some help on. If you look at the matrix, I was having the the right sling fire when both the first and last drop target were down and I hit the left center spinner. On the matrix, I figure its a bad diode. So, I replaced all the diodes on those 4 switches. Problem is, that must not have been the issue because the right sling still fires under the same circumstance. What am I missing? Is there another box I could make from the switches?
Thanks!
