hi!
Like I said, as soon as I boot the game, the coil and shooter rod shoot every balls around the playfield. Twice. Than it stops.

When I start a game, it does it again. All the balls are exiting the plunger lane and we ear the coil still trying to eject invisible balls

what should I do? put a new coil?

I don't know if it can help but this problem started when I changed the batteries.
thanks in advance!

Don't need a new coil. It's working fine. Remove the balls and go into switch test mode. Specifically look at the shooter lane and the trough switches. Use a ball to roll over the switch arms. Adjust any that are not triggering.

Correct amount of balls in machine?

Agreed, this sounds very much like a switch issue.

I have the same problem, I boot the game all the balls shoot out twice and it says check switch #31, check switch #41 and check switch #51. I've replaced two of the switches #31 and #51 still does the same thing and same message comes up. Any other ideas I can check out, could it be a board?
