I don't know if this is related to the sound problem I'm having, so I started another thread.

I was playing last night & I noticed that the helicopter starts up at times when it shouldn't. I think it's only supposed to start when you hit the spinner. I paid attention to it last night & it started when the ball went down the left inlane, hit a standup target, bounced around the pop bumpers... It didn't do it every time though. It's been doing this a while now but I didn't give it any thought. I'm not sure whether it started before the sound went out, after I did the ground mods, etc.
I have no idea where to start. Could there be a short somewhere?

Anybody have any ideas about this? I paid attention last night & the helicopter started on pretty well everything except when the spinner was hit. I think this a bigger problem than the lack of sound. Could I have done something to the MPU or maybe my ground mods crossed something?

Switch that activates it is set to tight, while playing game it's probably making contact and activating it. Try banging on the side of the cabinet while game is running and see if it activates it.

Ah, never thought of that. I'll take a look. Although, it's only supposed to run when the spinner's hit & it doesn't.
