Dothan, AL
hi everyone!
Eight ball deluxe le - bought it 3 weeks ago, had a few issues but cranked right up after fixing a connector! Played it for a week or two. Now it won't boot though. At first, it took powering on one or two times to get it to boot. So, I checked all the test points on the power supply, mpu, and the solenoid driver board and all seem ok. I replaced the mpu and solenoid driver board with a set of allteks....same response from the machine. booted last night for about 2 hours then crashed in attract mode (with the original boards reinstalled). I don't know what else to check if all of the test points read out. I ran a ground wire from the mpu and solenoid to the chasis just to check but no luck. Noticed the main board has a jumper from e4 to e12 (something to do with ground I read online). The fact that I have the same non-response with both sets of boards tells me it must be something else. I ordered a new rectifier board as the current one looks hacked up a little. I also cut the old battery off and wired a battery box in...i hope I did it right. I would gladly hire someone to fix, but I can't find a pinball tech within 150 miles of Dothan Alabama.
Any ideas?
Cheers! Brad
