Having a weird issue with my Metallica Premium.

At random in the middle of a game the flippers go dead and the DMD plays the end of ball bonus stuff.

It happens randomly at first i thought it may be tilting but i am not getting any tilt warnings or messages, i even removed the tilt weight out to test it and still happens.

As far as the game is concerned it thinks I have drained a ball when the ball is still in play.

Its not a particular target that triggers it the ball could be anywhere.

Not sure where to start searching so hoping i can get some tips on where to look to resolve the issue.

Quoted from yzfguy:

Did you try snooping around the ball trough optos for a loose connector? If a wire has wiggled loose, perhaps it senses a ball draining when it actually hasn't.

I had a quick look couldn't find anything, will take a better look now

Thanks for all the posts,
I am using the pinballife premium balls but have been using them for over a year

I took a closer look at the connectors and reseated them, got through a few games with no issue, fingers crossed that was it.

I might email stern and see what Kit they have for it if any.

thanks again for the responses!

Jim
