When turning the machine on the upper ball kicker continuously engages. All other tests seem to work... I changed the battery and attempted to reset the machine to same result. Any other ideas would be appriciated.

I checked the switch too. Not stuck, but it is scoring points when I use the flippers or hit the credit button and the upper ball kicker isn’t kicking out the ball???

It even scores points if I bump it. Hmmm???

Are there any switches registering in switch test? What do the left and upper kickout register as?

#6 5 years ago

switches stuck together somewhere, bad switch diode somewhere, cold solder joints on mpu/driver board?

No switches registered in switch test if it’s blank and only shows 3 in the credit area right? That’s what I got.

Strange thing is I can shake the playfield and it doesn’t add points but if I knock on the cabinet it does, so I’m assuming it’s not the playfield.

Quoted from PinballGurus:

What about if you put a ball in the eject hole? Does the correct number show then?

Looks like I have another issue too??? Are those other digits supposed to be lighting up? I would assume so??? I’m not too familiar with this game.

This is all I’m getting on test 3 with both balls in.

I assume my display is not working since it’s not letting me see those digits???

#13 5 years ago

During the display test all digits should be lighting up.

#14 5 years ago

Yeah. They are not so I’m not sure where to go to fix that issue since I’ve never encountered it. Any ideas?

#15 5 years ago

I appreciate the help. Thanks.

#17 5 years ago

Well let me see what I can find about that so we can see what switches have an issue before I proceed. Eh? lol

Can you list what exact digits aren't working? It's hard to tell on some in the picture.

With the power off, try reseating the cables going into the main display board and the ones along the top of the MPU.

Also try plugging only one of the four displays in at a time, it's possible one is causing others to not light up. Make sure not to touch the connectors while the game is on, and to give it a bit of time to cool off after turning the game off before changing connectors

It’s the digits for the number or balls remaining. I’ll try that too. The two digits next to the 03. Thanks.
