Okay so my Smaug just arrived! However the doorway to my theater room, even with the door taken off (which I just did) is too small to fit the box through. Am I going to have any problems moving this into the next room without the box? I have a set of pinball skates but I'm guessing they won't fit a widebody...anyone have any suggestions? Maybe cut away the sides of the box but leave the bottom piece on or something?

I just wanted to make sure the bottom wouldn't get jacked up if I slid it. Kept the bottom of the box only (cut off the rest) and it slid in fine.

does anyone have a picture of what the leg will look like at the recommended 6.5 or 7 degree pitch?

#45 7 years ago

After about 30 games, my ball has gotten caught where it is supposed to drop, to the left of Smaug and under that green building. Anyone else seeing this? Any fixes for it? Also can I assume the book should always be on? Seems mine is going out on a frequent basis.

I know its not loose on the back of the book, but where does it plug into? Do i have to take the silver cover off the box below the playfield?

I took the box cover off, I followed the wires, I don't see anything lose. The vga cable is tight on both ends.

Quoted from metahugh:

The book LCD cable goes from the back of the book LCD display, along the wiring harness bundle and then into to a VGA header on the back of the motherboard which sticks out of the back of the silver case. You do not have to check connections for that inside of the case.

You are correct, but I could see where the VGA plugs in and it was tight. And i followed the black/yellow bound wires and I think those looked okay too. Could this be something inside the small monitor/book?
