Hey, tonight I had another first after owning POTC for several years. A 100K skillshot on ball one!
My elite topper arrived today. Anyone have one installed yet? I’m 50/50 if I’m keeping mine or considering trades for it.
If it's still possible I would like to join the club for a ramp-set as well 
So far everything ok but who knows 
Anyone have any suggestions for the button? I've had this issue with multiple JJP games where after several plays the button just no longer seems to reach or be aligned correctly to hit the metal piece under it consistently without smashing it down. Only been an issue with JJP.

I replaced mine with a stern button from pinball life and it works perfectly.

Have you tried bending the metal leaf switch that the button pushes so it's better aligned with the bottom of the button? If you stand in the playing position and lean forward getting your nose closer to the playfield glass you can look upside down through the gap between the top edge of the lockbar and the bottom edge of the mini LCD to view underneath the lockbar at how the button is lining up with the metal leaf switch. Maybe take a look at it this way and press the button while looking through that gap to see how it's missing the switch and then adjust the switch accordingly.

Blob of hot glue on the end of the button.

ohhhhh that’s a great idea

Works and lasts too. I put it on Hobbit when I first got it years ago, in commercial use. And still works.
Doesn't slip off the switch blade, long enough to reach, and a little flexible and doesn't hurt anything.

Hi guys, got an issue on my potc le, the sound volume control (on the coin door) only work upward, i the down press doesnt regiester.
Any idea how i could fix this?
Thanks
Quoted from skwal:Any idea how i could fix this?
Start by reseating connectors by coin door and in the backbox. Be sure they are in tight. No wire sticking out.

Hi guys,
Sorry another issue.. i replaced the cmos battery with another one, everything was fine (with power on)
I then switched off my machine waited a few seconds, now when i switch it on again, the power supply inside the blackbox does not turn on.
The led on the power board do turn on.
Any idea where i can go from here?
Thanks

Hi mate,
So this technic worked, my game start as usual! BUT if i power it down, i need to do that AGAIN to bring it up? do you know if i have to change a setting in the bios or something?

Yes. In the BIOS you change Power on after power fail to yes or enable. This tells the motherboard to power itself on after the game is off. BIOS password is qmodem (all lower case).

Does the bios have a password?
Quoted from skwal:Does the bios have a password?
yes as I said qmodem all lower case
Quoted from Pinballomatic:yes as I said qmodem all lower case

Initially, I read his post and wanted to respond w/ the same link, but I think he's referring to the Lior Scupted LCD cover:

Quoted from Tuna_Delight:Are you referring to this?
Yes sir
Quoted from bbble:Yes sir
I encourage you to look at all the mods they have for it. They are great!
Quoted from bbble:Yes sir
Ah hah. mountaingamer made and offered these larger coin beauties a few years ago, but he doesn't appear to have been active on Pinside for quite a while.
I actually gave mine away to another Pinsider a few months ago after I had replaced it with Lior's action button surround mod.
You can probably create your own without too much effort if you can find similar plastic coins. Good luck!

Except they stopped responding to customers a few weeks ago and scammed several ppl... there is a long thread about it on here somewhere
The real must have mod for this game is that opening/closing lighted chest from Pinball Mod Co. It not only restores one of the scrapped toys from the prototypes, it improves upon it. I can't believe there are still games out there without this.
