Hi everyone. I'm new to the Jurassic Park club. I have a few questions which are hopefully easy to answer.

The flippers on my machine aren't really aligned up evenly nor do they line up to the hole in the play field. Is adjusting the flippers an easy process, or does it require a complete rebuild?

Also, I played a game in a newly refurbished machine over the weekend and noticed that my machine does not enter any game modes (it stays in stampede mode). What sort of symptoms can cause this?

Thanks for your help, love this machine, and can't wait to get it back to its former glory.

Quoted from Slim64:
What do you mean, stays in stampede mode? When you shoot the scoop does it not start the mode?

Over the months that I have played the machine I have not been able to progress the game from Stampede onto the next mode. I have had the balls in the scoops multiple times but there is never any progression. However upon playing this other machine I did notice progression onto the next few modes was rather easy. Is this a fault with my machine or as suggested does it have something to do with the new firmware?

Oh ok, good question. The Stampede light on the play board CRT is constantly lit, but there is never any suggestion on the DMD display or sound effects that stampede had activated. Is that a symptom of the switch in the control room having died?

Complete newbie here, but does anyone know the part number for the switch that I require for the control room, or where I may be able to source them from Australia?

Had a look, and switch wires look connected fine, I have attached a photo of how it looks.
But to confirm behaviour, the Stampede CRT flashes all game (except during Tri-ball). Putting the ball into the control room chute doesn't do anything other than spit the ball out. I have tried to manually activate the switch and again no action happens. So is it safe to assume the switch is gone?

Quoted from woody24:
As Pimp77 said, the diode and tab is broken off. So there's your problem. Sucks that the switch is probably still good, but don't have a good enough contact to solder back onto. So yeah, you'll need a new switch.

Thanks all for your help. Now to source a new switch and diode. Is someone able to take a photo of this switch when they get a chance and post it up so I can see how it is supposed to be hooked up?

Thanks all.

For those who helped me earlier with my control room issues, thank you. Installed a new switch and diode and bobs our uncle, it now works, so thank you!

Another quirk I've found with this machine which I'd like some help with if possible, it's developed a strange behaviour in that after a game at random (in the fact that sometimes it doesn't do it, sometimes it does it all the time) the machine will sit with with some play field lights hard on, music playing but no response to the start game button, nor is anything seen on the display, acting almost as if it is frozen. This lasts for about 10-15 seconds before all returns to normal again, and I can start another game or let it go through its attract mode.

Has anyone seen this behaviour before?

I believe it's got 5.0.1 Edenecho

Hi everyone. I have a small issue with my machine which I'm hoping you guys can help track down the issue.

The switch on the back side of the ramp (behind rexy) doesn't appear to be functioning anymore. I've put the machine into switch test mode and it's not registering. I've also looked at the switch and I can't see any bad soldering. I've attached a pic, what is the next step from here? Switch replacement?

Quoted from dontfeed:
Looks like that tab on the right is bent and broken.

Thank you, problem solved, the tab on the right is broken. So now need to try and source a switch to replace it in Australia. Wish me luck!
