I know this sounds goofy, but clean both optics with a qtip dippied in ISO alcohol . I had cleaned pf on my Amh at the door and medieval at the drawbridge , and had novus blocking/clouding the opto beams in both situations. Drove me nuts, went through many of your steps, including the flicker thing - was just dirty lens.

Also be sure wires are well seated in the opto board connectors. My medieval has the Through connectors , where the wide is simply pressed down in a v as it passes through , two wires weren't all the way down, and were flaky, intermittent signals. Caused irregular ball save kick outs and phantom hits at the moat.

NEver had opto issues on my DW, but triple check those wire and connectors at the opto board. Highly suspect.
