So my daughter wanted me to move Space Shuttle into her bedroom. It was working fine before the move. I had to take the head off to get the pin through all the doorways in our home. I took loads of pictures, and put everything back exactly as before. It has balls in the trough too. I'm just not getting power to the front of the pin where the coin door is located. All lights are working, but start button does not illuminate as before, nor do the flipper buttons - as I wired those to be lit by jumping them off the coin door lights. I've re-checked and tightened connections. Can anyone give me a starting point to work from to solve? Thanks in advance.

If the game is booting and working but you have lights out, sounds like a connector issue since all you did was move it. I'd double check everything is plugged in right and you don't have a connector off by a pin or not fully seated.

I have lights everywhere. Backglass, and playfield. It even spells out "Space Shuttle" like it should in attract mode. Just won't start a game. I've rechecked all connectors. I'm walking away from it for a while and will take a fresh look at it in the am. : )

Credits on the game? Game on free play? Start button wires good and switch works?

It was on Free Play before I moved it. No Credits are showing, but they didn't previously either. I'm thinking it's not a connector, but something simple I'm overlooking. I found this pic of the pin "before" I moved it. I was wrong in thinking the "Start" button was lit before starting a game. It is not lit. So I'll go through the manual and see if it need to reset it to "free play".

Throw some credit on and see if it starts.

Yes, what is your battery situation, type, location etc.
Moving it may have jogged it and lost memory.

You did put the balls back in right?

Did you forget to attach a ground wire to the ground braid in the cab head?

Go into switch test and see if all three balls are registering. If not, game will not start. Set function 18 max credits to 0 for free play.
