I'd suspect where the ball is sitting, that switch is bad.

The game is going into ball search because it isn't seeing the ball.

I can't remember how this game plays, but the ball capture inside the Lauren Belle uses opto switches, and I've had to replace optos here on every Maverick I've worked on.

Switch test is your friend! Test with a ball, not with your finger!

As said switch test and will the ball only has too be a switch

I am thinking the same thing my acts up sometimes there also

Also check that you have the correct number of balls in the game.
Should be 6 balls in this one according to the manual.
Some games will play with a ball short so worth checking

But remember, you don't count the captive ball as one of the balls.

Number 9 in the setup instructions in the manual states.

9. Place the six pinballs on the playfield near the outhole, and carefully reinstall the playfield glass.

You may need one more ball! Should be 6 balls plus the captive!

This game only takes 5 balls total. 1 of which is the captive ball.

I thought 6 balls sounded like too many, but the manual .pdf in the IPBB says 6 balls.

It's a typo in the manual though, as I see it only has a 4 ball trough.
They probably copied that page from another manual, and forgot to change that line to 4 balls.
There are lots of mistakes in those manuals I should have known better!

Thanks for clearing that up crujones!

Yes this is right 4 ball game with the captive ball
