Having an unusual issue with MET pro.

It seem as though the game senses that the ball in play has drained when it hasn't.

Any thoughts. It's pretty random.

Plug was loose, but problem still occurring? Replace the sensor and the board?

i had this problem too.. and it seems to come back after a while again.. so what i did is directly soldered the 2 wires onto the under side of the opto pcb. that fixed it

Unfortunately it's not unusual at all, for a whole host of Sterns.

common stern issue. With the power off, reseat BOTH connectors. Take them off, then firmly put them back on. dont forget the one on the backside, there's 2 that you need to reseat. Good luck!

Go into switch test and bang on the pf to see if an outlane or trough switch reads .
If so adjust the one .
