I have little to no experience with repairing EM games, but I'm currently trying to troubleshoot/fix an issue with my Gottlieb Jungle Queen. I'd appreciate any tips for how to track down the cause. Basically, everything works fine until the last player drains their 5th ball. At this point, the machine gets caught in an endless loop rather than entering the "Game Over" state as it should. Additional details:
- After draining the final ball, the score motor starts to spin and never stops
- The issue happens regardless of how many players were in the game (always happens when the final player drains their final ball)
- When it gets stuck in the loop, the P1 and P4 lights in the upper left of the backbox are on, while P2 and P3 are off (even if it was a 1P game)
- In a 4P game, the P1-P4 lights proceed through this sequence when the final ball drains: P4 off -> P3 off -> P2 off -> P4 on -> stuck (seems like each step of the sequence corresponds to one rotation of the score motor)
- If I manually trigger the "Game Over" relay, it breaks out of the loop and correctly enters the game over state (although the P1 and P4 lights remains lit in the game over state which seems abnormal). Game resets and works fine if I start a new game after manually triggering the game over.
