Hey guys, I recently joined the club. Have an issue with the black pearl ship. I noticed while playing the ball got stuck between the ramp and the end of the ship. With further inspection I noticed the ship dock was below the ramp significantly, more than a quarter inch. I was able to pull the ship up flush with the ramps but then I’m troubleshooting why i’m able to move it by hand dropping below the ramp again. What do I need to look at? I notice that there is a black column attached to the playfield that the mining ramp is sitting on. Is this connected somehow that may be missing a screw and nut? Looks as if disassembly may be required. Anyone with this issue that can help...thanks in advance.

LTG...thank you...I’m going to look into it when I get back in this evening. Appreciate the help. One more thing..I can’t drop my playfield back Into the lock down bar. It was tight getting it out but I figured it was due to the foam pad I needed to remove. Unfortunately it looks as if the foam was unable to keep the playfield from pulling and bending the lockbar. Should this just be replaced..or disassembled and bent back with a hammer/pliers?

Troubleshooting a VUK issue that is behind the black pearl that plunges the ball up onto the deck. The ball is shooting up but unable to get on the deck. After 2 attempts it exits to the side and back on the main playfield. It looks like there’s enough clearance at the top for the ball to land, not sure. Could it be a coil power issue that needs to be adjusted? Anyone have similar issues?

Also, gate 87 is stuck according to the test report. Where is this located?

Last issue...camera is not able to be found. Checked all the wiring and it seems to be OK. Could it just be the camera went bad??

Thanks in advance!

Thank you! I’ll up the coil strength and see that happens along with locating Maelstrom ramp opto. I believe it said it the gate was stuck open.

As for the camera...I double checked the wiring and actually tried another USB port. Till could not be found. Wondering if the camera is faulty or cabling needs replaced?
