I have the strange behavior: The sling shot led no longer turn off and one off them swith from yellow to white. They re not always changing colors anymore.

It used to work great. Any idea?
I checked the connection and everything was ok. I’ve changed the setting for the led power to the minimum. I wonder if it’s linked to that but it used to work properly though.

Regarding the slingshot led:I had 2 spares led pcb and i realized one led was bad. However during attract mode when i turn on the pin, the led change colors normaly but once they turn white, they stay white forever without even reacting with the gameplay anymore.
Any idea what could go wrong?
Anyone else has this issue?

I though it could come from a bad led but they turn to all colors at first and how do you even know they are bad in this case?

Anyone experienced game stop on Alien during gameplay and go back to the attract mode?
Seems to happen on mine when multi running or queen nest.

I can’t figure out what’s wrong

I m running 1.2 with all latest boards.

Thanks for the tip. I ll try that.
Do you know if it’s possible to get the report from USB? I’ve tried on a non empty usb and no report so does that need that the USB key need to be pluged during the reboot to get a report? Anyway i ll try again.

it happen during multi and since Ambush is the easiest multiball, I'll experienced more with that mode.

Does anyone ever tried to load the report from the USB device from the option? I can't get it to work. I pluged an empty USB select export in the menu and no report.txt or log files are created...
Does this function even work?

edit: i pluged an empty USB before turning on the pin, played. The game stopped like the other times: go to the menu, export report... and nothing.
IT seems that this function does nothing.

I don't know why but the pin stopped now every long play so I can no longer play a game more than 10 minutes without a stop.
Everything else seems to work like it should.

Since I cannot get the report, I've no clue what could make this happen. I'm thinking retrofitting the caps and the PS... since the pin looks more unstable now.

Edit. After rereading this great thread, i realized i was running .6 version o all my IO board. I ve updated to .9. I hope it will help.

hello.
looking for help for my Alien which constantly reboot now. running the 1.2. I've update my IO boards recently to .9 version. This didn't solve this issue but now the right flipper, once pressed during gameplay, make some leds to bright with it...
