    I don’t answer anywhere near as many tech questions as I could.
    It isn’t that I don’t want to but the issue I have found is sometimes you kind of inherit the problem or arm the person with the question with enough info or confidence to make things worse.
    Here is just an hypothetical example.
    “My ball wont kick out of the saucer”

    Suggestion
    Adjust the switch.

    Next
    “Where is the switch,which one,how do I do it ?”

    Answer
    It is in the saucer hole,you carefully bend the arm to make it more sensitive then go into switch test and verify it is working

    Next
    “Ok I did that but the little arm came off does that matter?what is switch edge test?”

    Answer
    Put the arm back on,switch edge test is in the test menus.

    Next
    “Arm won’t stay on now half the switches don’t seem to be working now I think I messed something up trying to get the arm back on”

    Answer(Public)
    You should probably find someone close that is better versed to take a look at it and help guide you.

    Answer(to myself)
    He probably broke a wire in the chain or shorted the switch matrix and also now needs a new switch all in the name of a simple switch adjustment. I should’ve just left it alone.
