Thought I'd share this issue with mine in case it happens to someone else. Got my LED Pro about 10 days ago. Put about 60 games on it and now the front drop target won't stay up on it about 80% of the time. Every once in a while it will stay up but not often. The game will try to raise it typically twice, sometimes four times, and then leave it down. Every once in a while it will try raising it ten or twelve times before giving up.
Every once in a while it'll leave it down and I'll hit the second target and it'll reset them (or start trying again). Seems like a mechanical problem but will continue to try and sort it out.

Quoted from damageinc55:

I've seem this on location machines before. What happens when you manually raise them?

If you manually reset them they stay up.

Quoted from Rickwh:

Ive had this problem too. I adjusted the braket a bit so that the drop target sits on the ledge evenly left to right across the face of the drop target (not just one corner or the other). It is really easy to adjust it so that the target doesnt fall down when hit... So its a bit of a PITA. You can also play with the spring tension/length a bit too. Some have even added or removed washers to move the drop closer/fruther away from the ledge...

I loosened the screws that hold the whole assembly but there didn't seem to be any room for adjustment. What did you adjust exactly? Thanks.

Appears to be solved. I went and took the assembly off to get a closer look. When I worked the mechanism by hand it appeared the bar that lifts the targets wasn't staying straight. It actually was on about a 45 degree angle sloping down toward the front target. I realized the screw that held the lift bar, the one that screws into the end of the plunger on the coil, was loose. I held the plunger with needle nose and tightened the screw up as tight as it would go. Once I did that the plunger lifted the bar flat like it was supposed to and the front target caught every time. Put it back in the game and played about 10 games and not one error with the targets.
I'll keep my fingers crossed!
