Did you check the switch in the left hideout to make sure the machine doesnt think there is already a ball in there?
Are you getting any switch errors on boot up?
Perhaps you should just donate it to a fellow pinsider who lives in your town?

I found wires cut on my solenoid. At first I just skill shot the left hideout. Check connections to the solenoid lugs. If switch is registering I would start there. Physically check all mechanical parts while looking at solenoid.

Left hideout switch is also a good idea as mentioned above. Not sure if software makes this sanity check or not.

Todd,

I have had the exact same issue on my High Speed. It is very frustrating. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

I am still working on this issue as well. There is a strange delay when the ball does make it into the left hideout. It takes the game a couple seconds to realize it and award the score.

Just so I'm clear, you actually went into the switch edges test and manually activated the ramp and hideout switches and they all tested fine? Also, this may seem odd, but when your diverter is activated, both diverter arms come out? The reason I ask is that it is quite common for the crimp on either of the diverter arms to become disengaged... If can be fixed by a welder.

I recently made clear ramps for High Speed so spent a lot of time taking this ramp in and out of the game as well as trouble shooting it. Also make note if the diverter fires early. If the contacts are too close, when the ball first enters the ramp, the vibration can activate the diverter early then when the ball gets there it has already fired.

Had the same thing with mine and fix it by replacing both switches. They had been cleaned so many times that there was no gold plateing left on the contacts. Works 100% now. Testing by rolling the ball by isn't the same as a fast ramp shot.

My high speed is doing this. Anybody confirm a solution?

This is exactly what mone does.
