Hi guys,

When I was playing my IJ pinball machine today, the Idol Lock started showing some funny behavior. Balls were not coming out properly and multiball would start directly after having locked only 2 balls... After restarting the machine and seeing the "press enter for test report" message I went to the idol lock test in the menu. See the video for the result.

Has anyone had this problem before? What could be the cause of this?

Any help would appreciated!

Yours is not recognizing position 2-4.Raise the playfield and see if there are broken wires to any optos on that assembly.An opto may also be bad.

I have this exact same problem dezaanster I also think it could be a bad opto. Did you find a solution to yours??

The opto's just needed a clean.

I cleaned the opto's, but after a while the problem started coming back so I eventually replaced the opto's. No problems since.
