So this is probably something simple that I am missing but I just went through this hurricane top to bottom. Every mech cleaned. It came out nice imo. But I played a couple of games tonight to test it and realized that it will not let me enter my initials. Flippers fire but letters won’t move. Just three blank spots. Any thoughts?

I will start there. I appreciate it. I had my fingers crossed for a non-board issue lol.

I replaced u7 and u8 today just to see if that would fix anything. Still the same though.

It’s just the lane change in general that does not work I noticed today. When the extra ball is lit it will only move with the pop bumpers. Not the flippers.

Mine only has single switches. Maybe someone else that has the game would be willing to check

Awesome.

Some progress has been made. I had some issues with the ribbon cable before so I threw the one from my fish tales in there and now I can change lanes wth the left flipper. The right one is still not working though. I can pull the boards and check traces. Could there be an issue wth the switch itself?

All three paths you suggested had continuity.

I shorted the u7/u8 and it did register in switch test so I am going to just replace the cement resistors next

The resistors read 80ohm so I’m guessing they are a bit off lol. It should read 3300 ohm on the dmm right

It is an original board.

They measured 80ohm out of the board. I ordered a bunch of new ones. They weren’t expensive so why not lol.

I will look at the legs of u7/u8 and see if there are any shorts

So...... does that mean I just need to order new chips to go along with the new resistors?

All parts have been ordered and should be here first of next week.

I really appreciate the help. The best part of pinside is that there is always someone who knows way more than me that is willing and able to help.

I pulled the opto isolators and the 3300 ohm resistors off of a WPC board I have that resets just to check and the machine works perfectly with them. So problem solved. I have brand new ones on order to put in when they arrive. I’m just glad that it’s all working. Thanks for all the help

No kidding. I really appreciated his help for sure. Made it super easy
