Quoted from Mr_Outlane:

I noticed that the HobbyKing servo (HK15288A Analog Servo BB/MG 9kg / 0.20sec / 51g) is out of stock everywhere or discontinued. This one will substitute...

Quoted from Vernisious:

Oh, brain fart. You are right, you don't press the action button to shuffle modes (it's the flippers). Yeah, I don't mind looking at the book for my next shot if I need the info. The game does a pretty good job of lighting the shot needed for modes.
I just wonder if the apron screen is a nice upgrade. If anyone finds it useful and likes the addition. I've only had less than 5 plays on the JJP Pirates that had one and I don't recall ever looking at it.

Quoted from wolv3:

I talked with jjp tech support. I hadn't gone into the terms and conditions and go through all the pages which will then opens up the ability to set your wifi and password.

Quoted from pinballinreno:

Yes, that was what the exclamation point in the menu was trying to tell you.

Quoted from pinballslave:

If you start a mode and don't finish it, is the progress saved so you can go back and start where you left off?

Quoted from metahugh:

Thanks for the servo suggestion! I just finished installing a new PCB plus one of these servos I just got in the mail from Hobby King today and Smaug’s mouth moves again. I played a game and I’m second guessing selling Hobbit LOL

Quoted from Bendit:

I don't have a machine screw that size.

Quoted from LTG:

It's in there somewhere. Topside of the playfield where smaug turns, or in the bottom of the cabinet.
A flexible magnet might help.
LTG : )

Quoted from Bendit:

Right!? Judging by what had happened to my M.A.N. drop target assembly, I am guessing that this missing screw was missing from the factory.
(that also explains why my Smaug always had a crooked bottom mandible lol)

Quoted from Bendit:

Bottom left of pf when lifted, where does this go?
Big yellow wires reducing to smaller gauge?

Quoted from PinballHaven:

Beast mech issues: was recently rebuilt and coil is good, also swapped out for a new one just in case. Took off the spring completely per other recent posts, no help there. Anyone have any idea why this guy would pop up a few times then give up? Notice the pulsing power once he gets up when he does? Appreciate any help anyone could give. My next step will probably be another complete tear down of this one.

Quoted from Travahontas:

TWIPY nominations have started!
It’d be really gratifying to see the ‘Gate at Bag End’ mod nominated for Best New Mod this year. I know Reaper is writing it in for sure haha

Hey everyone,
I'm wondering if any of you have had issues with the 15-0031-01 Insert RGB LED control boards in this game. On our game the lights under the dwarf drop targets are not working. I've traced the lines back to this board, I checked the connections and everything seems good, I noticed the three LEDs on the board are different than on the other boards throughout the game, the middle LED is red, this stays this way even if just the power is applied to the board. I seem to be having a hard time finding much info on these, any ideas would be greatly appreciated![quoted image]

edit: As I am looking at this, I think the leds are indicators for surface mount fuses... may have blown one somehow.

Quoted from zaphX:

Have you tried plugging in that molex hanging next to the empty socket?

Quoted from Goronic:

Probably need LTG to chime in on this though.

Quoted from Vernisious:

Has anyone received the beast mold mods from lermods? I'm wondering how they turned out. I haven't seen any talk or pictures so I assume they're still in production phase.

Quoted from joetechbob:

Still waiting on mine. I should hit up little shop of games and see what's up.

Quoted from Bendit:

Good person alert: spoke with Ken Holland at Jersey Jack and he shipped me a Smaug control board quickly (and cheap). Communication was great, and fast.
Good person alert #2: metahugh was super helpful in assisting me with my Smaug issue.

Quoted from Energyspike:

Every time I called, service was great and in the early days they warrantied all the parts I needed. When out of warranty in one particular instance, I just paid shipping. I know some threads say different but customer service at JJP has been awesome and glad to here others having the same experience and posting about it..

Quoted from HornerSyndrome:

Smaug Mouth calibration question:
I replaced the servo as instructed in the manual but it was off as I had it up it to like 142 just to get it to start to open. So I took it out and recalibrated it. Should I have my min / max setting at a certain number in the mouth test before booted the game bc as it stands the limits at maxed out (100 and 150 I think). I can unplug Smaug and do the settings if so - I just don’t want to mess up the servo calibration bc the settings in the game are off (mine was supposed to be at 120 and 138). Thanks!

Quoted from Reaper802:

You need to power the servo before you install the servo horn. Then you know you are at the zero position. From there you can calibrate via the endpoint settings.

Quoted from pcprogrammer:

Are these plastic screws just to adjust the height of the drop targets? A couple fell out on them and I put them back.

Quoted from LTG:

Yes. So the drop target is even with the playfield so balls don't hop when hitting one that is down or balls getting stuck because they are too low.
LTG : )
