Just thought since I play this a lot coming across problems:

1) speakers on LE keep crackling , cutting out
Sound card replaced by Stern but nothing
Other fix ?

2) newton ball hits don’t register: adjust leaf switch and it’s fixed

3) game goes into ball search after ball ended but nothing happens
After 3 ball searches it finally ends the ball
Any tips ?

Quoted from PinMonk:

1. What is the volume at? What is the music attenuation at? Speech Attenuation level? Sounds like you're clipping the on-board amp.
2. Are you saying that it goes out of adjustment when you play it? And is it the hits with or without the captive ball?
3. Check the ball trough for all positions registering in switch test mode. Use "clear ball trough" in the diagnostics and watch the trough sensors on-screen as it cycles through balls.

1) sound is set at 35, no other adjustments made then factory. The speakers (sound) makes crackling sound the whole time
The louder you go the more noticeable it gets

2) issue is fixed on mine but hear it from others so just wanted to post problems and fix

3) thanks , will check the switches
In the menu all looks great
It only does it ones so often

Well, game starts up normal without saying ball missing but with tech alert it says 1 ball missing
Next will open the playfield and look for missing ball ? Weird !!

Got a total mystery on my hands
6 balls went in the game
Only 5 left ?

Nothing on top of the playfield or under??

Quoted from kpg:

I'm willing to bet it's in the sarcophagus mech.

You are the winner !!

In ball search this ball does not kick out
With the eye you can’t see it

So if you missing a ball shoot/roll another ball in there and hope both come out
If not go to coil test and keep opening it till ball rolls ou

#64 5 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Yeah, sounds like the amp just can't handle the really high volumes. But it's an easy and relatively cheap fix if you want a loud machine. Less than $40 all told.

Ordered the part !
Hope it fixes the issue.

Stern is very reluctant to send a replacement Cpu , which I’ve heard seem to be the problem

Quoted from Gryszzz:

You hit the nail on the head homie. All of us hearing impaired guys that wanna jack it up to 55 would GREATLY appreciate a thread showing step-by-step installation of this/these amps. At your convenience, of course. Please and thank you.

Only way I like my Maiden is loud
+ I’m a bit deaf

#91 5 years ago
Quoted from Dipstickjimmy:

I had the same thing happen and I suggest that the ball is "Stuck" in the Sarcophagus due to it being "Too Level". Raise your back left leg just a little. I know balls can get a slight magnetic charge that provides enough resistance to hold it in place and keep from progressing thru to the proper place.
What number LE did you get? I am still shocked that they didn't make 666.

Thanks for the tip
Don’t won’t it too have too much pitch since it’s already blistering fast

my LE # 6

Quoted from Burley9043:

It seems like there is no "one problem" to fix when it comes to the auto-plunger. The adjustments I finally made to get it to work on my game and the ones that I have read on this thread all seem a little different (e.g. moving shooting lanes, bending auto-plungers, waxing play fields, adjusting power to auto-plunger). It is never as easy as turning this screw a quarter turn. This might be why Stern has not been able to fix this issue as the new games come off the line and why it continues to be frustrating to game owners. But even when every auto-plunged ball in my game was bouncing off the upper flipper every time it launched a ball, it never stopped me from enjoying the game. It just added to the madness.

Got the same issue
Just ignoring it over the cracking sound
And the iffy newton switch

Let’s get a Deadpool fast and see what turns up there ( fun sarcasm)
