Just unboxed a brand new CE born 28th December. All good (washers preinstalled on the playfield) except the screen keeps getting little lines over the text as though there is some sort of interference. I've checked all the connections in to the monitor, unplugged and replugged the dvi and power cables but no luck. It happens during boot, during doing the 0.99 update and during the game etc. Anyone had this issue before? Any ideas on what I can try next? It's not a major issue but is annoying the crap out of me.

I'm sure so done else has had this issue. The left flipper on the black pearl keeps riding up by itself. This photo is with the game off. How do I fix this hopefully without having to remove the ship?. It's a brand new game. Thanks.

OP
Quoted from PinMonk:
You might be able to get in there with a racheting wrench. Basically you need to push the flipper into position and then tighten the nut under a little more that keeps the post the flipper is mounted to from moving.

Thankyou!. Also any idea where this bit is from?, found it just sitting in the orbit holding up the ball.

Been a really frustrating Experience so far, only managed to play 3 games and just one issue after the other.

Quoted from LTG:
Guard inside on the VUK behind the black pearl to keeps balls from dropping back in and roll onto the playfield instead.

Lift playfield up and pull forward and rest on front of the cabinet. Behind the back wall, pull out the clip holding the flat metal thing that connects the motor to the black pearl. Then look between the black pearl and the back wall. See the allenhead bolt sticking up ? Remove it. Lay a towel across the playfield along the left side of the black pearl. Pull the black pearl back off of the two pivot points. Wiggle up and out and rest on the side of the black pearl.
Then get the flipper where you want and tighten it. Reassemble.
Nothing hard.

Which nut do i tighten to lock the flipper in place?

Thanks so much, really easy fix and all done. Felling very self accomplished

Anyone else have issues with the ball getting stuck in the bumper behind the rubber? My game has the washers installed from factory in the playfield and I feel it's raised the whole bumper so the ball just shoots underneath. Any ideas on how to fix? So far I've not had a single game on this thing without an issue.

Any ideas what could be causing the below video?

Basically after one game the screen goes to crap with artifacts and lines all over it. It's better after reboot, but then slowly comes back. Not sure if it the monitor or CPU or video card etc?

Quoted from harryhoudini:
Easiest way to determine, plug another monitor in. Or TV. Also, of course, make sure all the cables are seated properly in the game. Might try doing a firmware reload on it as well. I would vote for video card issue on the motherboard, but just a guess.

Good idea. I plugged my laptop in to the monitor and it's still doing it, so I guess it's either the monitor or the power source to the monitor.

Quoted from KingPinGames:
how technical are you? if you pull the monitor from the mount and lay it facedown on a towel, then remove the cover where the video input comes in. check to make sure the internal cables are secure. i had one monitor where the internal idc connector was coming up just a bit and it was causing issues with the monitor too.

Ok, I will give that a go too. Thanks!
