Hi everyone,
I am trying to help a friend with a basket case Hollywood Heat Game. The Wiring was a mess when I got it (too many homebrew fixes) so now I am trying to go part by part to get this thing working.

I got the game to semi boot, it starts up, has the normal “I think” display and lets me start a game. That’s when things get weird. It try’s to start but no ball is ejected, and it freezes with “the heat is on” on the display. The siren also plays and then sort of dies. I have a video of it but don’t know how to attach it to pinside. I would love to get this game out of my garage and back to my buddies house!

Please help

Ok I was able to get the game to start, I think the issues are connector related but who knows for sure. I will post back if I can find something specific.

jamieflowers - Kinda on late on the reply and you may have figured it out already, but check your outhole through switch.

If there is no ball detected in the outhole or that switch is stuck or broken that likely be your issue. Unless it’s upstream on the wire or connector.
