MET Ball ends prematurely

Hello,

I’m having an issue with this MET pro.

From time to time you’ll be in single ball play and the game goes to bonus count up and ends the ball.

Correct # of balls in game. It seems the last switch in the trough is registering with no ball there sometimes.

Physical switches in the trough with diodes on them.

Thoughts?

Have you tried reseating both trough connectors?

I thought that was the case with opto boards only. I’ve learned that’s not the case. I’m going to do that as soon as I get home. Thanks for the help!

No problem. The connectors themselves are a common point of failure.

If reseating doesn't solve the problem, MET has a really nice ball trough diagnostic screen where you can easily see if any switches are acting up as you cycle balls through the trough.

It is. Met has optos at the shooterlane end of the trough. SAM standard.
