Hi
My Whirlwind was working great last night and this morning, every insert lights are blinking and running the attract mode pattern way too fast. I reseted connectors with no success. Any idea where I should look?
Thanks

From an old forum post... may be helpful... “I would start by putting the machine into single lamp test mode. Then make a copy of the lamp matrix table from the manual, and cycle through all the lamps, marking them off on the matrix as you go. What you are looking for is a pattern of lamps that are lighting up incorrectly. You may find that you have an entire column that lights up at once when you should only be getting a single lamp. This should help you at least start the troubleshooting process.”

I am having this exact problem. An entire row is lighting incorrectly. Do you know what it could be? I’m not really sure where to look.

Just by shaking the wires on the interconnect board resolve my problem. I need to investigate but It’s surely a connection problem

Interesting. I’d break out the multimeter and see if you have a short somewhere and or reflow the connector. Nice work tracking it down so quickly.

Not lighting, or all going on when one of them is triggered?
