I received my MMr today and it was perfectly protected by the shipping box an looked awesome. I went through the standard set-up procedures, plus the only 2 'Cautions', which was remove the rubber band from the castle towers and snip the two zip-ties to under the PF for the 2 gremlins. Then, I put on the power cord, put the 4 balls inside and thought it was time to play it.

I turn the switch on and nothing happens. It is getting power because I checked another pin in the same power outlet. When I lift the PF I see several very small green LED's glowing but nothing else is on. No GI's. in the backbox, I can see one red glowing LED at the bottom of that small board.

I cannot start a game. So . . . what gives? Never had this to happen before. Is there some other trick I'm not aware of? Any help appreciated.

Yes, Andrew! I remembered to plug it in!!!

Do you mean this pin has a special switch in the coin door to turn it on? Never heard of such a thing. If you know where it is, please let me know.

No. Totally lifeless!!! I've un-boxed several NIB's and this is a first for me to not have one power-up!

That could be one of the things I end up putting on a check list. Hard to believe something could be wrong with a fuse before you even play it, though.

Aha! I think I know what it is! There are no coin mechs inside the door!!! That is why it won't start a game!

Yeah . . . they are supposed to. I just ate my dinner. I need to wait a bit for my stomach to go down enough for me to squeeze in between pins so I can work on it.

And Mr. o-din . . . I just GOT your "gremlin" slam!!! Another Pinsider told me they are called Trolls! Hey . . . when you get to my age, what's the damned difference . . . they are both ugly as hell!
And just because I'm dumb, you shouldn't emphasize it on here alerting everyone else to my follies!

Yes, one red one at the bottom right.

Haven't done that yet. Usually, when I try to do things like that I have a tendency to make things blow up! That will be my last resort.

That's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me on Pinside!!!

From now on, I will never give you a thumbs down on ANYTHING . . . even if it is borderline ridiculous! Ha.

I got it to working!!!

See my below post.
Thanks!

Didn't pay attention to that aspect yet . . . and now I'm back from my Man Cave and settling in for the evening. I'll check it out later on.

Yes. A very nice manual!

You are too fast!!!!!! I just started!

OK. Here it is folks. I HAVE THE PIN WORKING! AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY!

Crash and Lloyd get the prize for the evening. When I first looked at that little board in the backbox, I didn't see anything out of place. But I had looked too quickly. I went back and started really going over it. I found 4 connectors that were the problem. They are so small. One had the bottom half plugged in but the top half was protruding outward and not making full connection. One was half-seated and needed pushing all the way in. And two were totally not connected! They were hanging down. These things are so small . . . I think they only have 3 or 4 pins to connect. I thought they were auxiliary connectors to maybe put extra lights or something in the back. Then, I saw how they were angled dangling there and it became obvious they needed to connect to the board. I pushed them in and then turned the pin on. It instantly came on and loaded up!!!

What a pin this is! I am one of those who had never played an MM or even seen one in person. But with the prodding of Crash, jayhawkai, and futurepinhead, I went ahead and bought one. Man, am I happy I did! Wow! There is so much to shoot for on that thing and I love how you get to truly AIM at things. It's fast but not like my Iron Man. It's hard to really aim on that one. This pin has the perfect speed and flow. LOVED THOSE GREMLINS! Er . . . trolls. I am a happy camper.

Thank you everyone for offering advice. That's what I love about this hobby and the people on this forum. You guys ROCK!

I just now really looked at that picture. That was BOLD coming from you!!! Wish I was that thin! I'm okay in the 'post' part! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

No . . . I just need better eyes! I have glasses but I'm too vain to wear them. I think they make me look like an "old man". And you actually got this correct. I took a young friend to my Man Cave and asked him to help look around for lose wires. He found all four of them in about 20 seconds. I had been staring for 20 minutes!!!

And as the years roll on by, your stomach will get fatter and your 'peenie' will start to disappear. You will REALLY need glasses then in order to find 'things' so you can pee!

Ha! Yeah . . . "Where am I? Oh, well . . . I'll just leave the door open . . ."
