Hi All;

I've got an annoying problem with my recently acquired High Speed. When I got it it would display the error knocks on start-up and report the "Check Switch 38 - RT Flipper EOS" and the right upper flipper would occasionally work. I replaced both EOS switches on the right side, upper and lower, adjusted them, and also adjusted both flipper button switches. The flippers work perfectly every time now but the switch tests still report the same error. Also of interest, when imputing high scores the right flipper is not recognized, you have to scroll backwards with the left flipper. It's almost like the flipper isn't there even though it's working now. I'm pretty new at this so any help is really appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll order a complete switch stack and keep looking. One question from a complete n00b: If the lane change switch is normally open unless the flipper is activated how does the system detect the problem with the switch on startup? Something's got to be shorting, right? Thanks again for all the help....

Quoted from dsuperbee:

If the switch hasn't been activated in x amount of games, the machine assumes it is broken and the alert goes out.

Thanks, then once the problem is corrected and the switch is activated the error goes off? Thanks again...

Thanks again everybody. After replacing the lane change switch and having the problem recur I noticed there was no diode on the switch, and there hadn't been one on the old one either. The left flipper had one so I soldered one on the way the left flipper switch had it oriented. Complete ignorance on my part but problem solved. I'm learning little by little. Thanks again to all!
