Laser War
Data East, 1987DE Laser War, when trying to change which lane is highlighted during play nothing happens when I hit the right flipper as the game states should change the selected lane for the rollover targets, also I am not able to change letters when entering initials on the high score feature, flippers both operate fine during gameplay. any and all help is appreciated thanks
not sure on that particular game but some games have a second switch on your flipper switch that is for the lane change, check and see if there is and if it has the correct gap on it.
Quoted from mr300ww:My P4 display is out so gotta fix that first
I think you only need p1 and p2 for the switch test if memory serves. Been a while though
Quoted from mr300ww:I can do a switch test but not sure how to figure out if it’s working or not
Do you have the manual? If not it's available at IPDB. There is a section on how to do it. When you are in switch test mode, close the switch manually (in this case I would simply move the flipper with my hand) and see if the corresponding number shows up on the display. (eos switches are #46 and 47 on this game)
it fixed the lane change problem i was having and the switch is recognized during a test but found out the other EOS switch is missing the diode (smh) does anyone know what size diode to put on there as im not sure? thanks again for all the help

Terrific!
One diode fix and you're golden?

Pretty much lol game was in amazing shape, Guy I bought it from had it for 20 years, just gotta redo all the lights and fix/replace the P4 display and she’ll be playing 100%
I don't know if you know this, but I have Tech Charts for all Data East games on my website.
Even the universal schematics are there at the bottom.
Just have a look at http://www.inkochnito.nl
