So I was playing my FS tonight and noticed that the skill shot was not registering all the time. At first I thought it was just if it went through the G but seems to happen no matter which letter it rolls over. Any idea where to look to fix it or what the cause could be? I am still new to this hobby so any help would be great.
Quoted from smiley:Is anything registering a score before you plunge the ball? On mine one of the drop targets needed the solder reflowed.
No nothing is registering before i plunge. It works sporadically like I just played a game first two balls didnt register skill shot but the third one did.
Quoted from smiley:Are you rolling over the lit lettter?
lol yes i made sure of that too
Quoted from oogiebooogie:I noticed that as well, dont have this issue when i'm using LX-4 rom, only when i change to LX-5. Are you using LX-5?
I am but I have been using it for months this is a new development as it was previously working correctly
Quoted from Gnatty:I had the same problem, a switch was registering on start up, I think it was one of the drop targets, therefore the skill shot would not register. On game start up, see if there is a score on the DMD prior to launching a ball for the skill shot, mine was scoring 50,000 I believe, that's how I figure out why the skill shot wouldn't work.
So after playing some more when I got home from work I am getting a score right after I plunge before it even gets to the dig lanes. I’ll check the drop target switches first. I appreciate the help everyone
Thanks for all the replies I wish I knew how to fix things but I am still new and will have to call someone most likely. It seems like drop targets in BEDROCK are lit up before I even plunge. Not only that I was scoring points by just switching the skill shot lane with my flippers before i even launched a ball. So I am assuming it is still a switch issue? I tried to do a switch edge test when i first turned the machine on. Bedrock was all marked closed, #24 which is always closed and then the plumb tilt would show up when I shook it nothing else.
Sorry for ll the noob questions I am just getting into the hobby.
Quoted from smiley:They should not be lit until you hit them. That is what is messing up your skill shot.
So essentially both set of targets have a switch issue then?
