Thought I would share, playing my LE today and the right flipper on the black pearl got stuck on. Checked linkage, end of stroke, wiring and switches on cabinet. Went into test mode and all checked out fine, but the minute I pulled coin door coil switch, the flipper activated. I have had this type of issue before on my Bally/Williams machines and usually a shorted transistor on driver board. Called and talked to Lloyd and confirmed my thoughts. This was also confirmed by once I pulled the driver board out and tested the transistor I suspected and is shorted. Sad to see this happen on such a new machine, but it's pinball! Ordered a new transistor.

I already ordered. Thanks for the detailed instructions. We all appreciate it.

Hello pinball pirates. Have an on going issue I need help with. My small display in the apron flickers on/off at times. This is more notable when the machine is under play and the flippers are in use. Thinking a grounding issue, short and/or cold solder connection. Upon removing the apron the power wires were damaged some. I fixed the wires and reflowed the power connections, but the issue continues to persist.
Your thoughts on what to do next.

Thanks Houdini I will try that and follow up with how it goes.

I am having the same issue. I took mine out and thought cold solder joints on power. Reflowed and the problem is still there.

Not sure if it's the power supply. I would not think that on mine as I was able to pull out the playfield and with the LCD working I could tap around the display and it would flicker. I am assuming its possibly the ribbon cabling between the board and the display. Not sure how to fix this through.

So let me understand this correctly by rebuilding the power supply for the small LCD screen, the board under the screen itself, that fixed your screen flicker. Did JJP send you a kit for repairs I am assuming.

Thank you for the follow up. Were the two parts expensive to replace? Just hate the idea of having to pay for new parts so soon after I got the machine.

Thank you for the information. I'll give them a call today and check on ordering the parts. Glad you were able to get yours fixed.

Thought I would give an update on this that worked for me. I finely got around to look at the small apron display and its non-working (flashing) issue I was having. First of all I dislike to purchase new parts without trying to fix what I own. This issue just seemed to me to be a connection issue as the display would work, but tapping on the display/apron and/or flipping the flippers caused it to flash on/off. I did previously take it out and re-soldered the power connections without no change, so thought I would look at it one more time before calling JJP and ordering new parts. This time upon observation one of the small caps appeared to have missed being soldered completely in as you could see an open hole around its connection in the board. Re-flowed solder around all of these small caps, I think there are 3 or 4 of them. Reinstalled all parts and now the display works without any flashing issues. Problem solved!

David, If you don't want the topper you can diffidently send it to me, I'll get it fixed and add it to my LE!

Excellent! Third time's a charm.
