Your rocket target coils aren't firing.
So it's counting *up*, thinking you're really good and knocking them all back down again.

Find out why your coils aren't firing.

Quoted from pindude80:

ah ha, good call! Any ideas where to start looking to see why none of them are firing?

I'd start with fuses. Check the one on the underside of the playfield first. Run test mode, and see if ANY are firing. If some are, then that will help narrow down what it can be if not a fuse. I'm guess it's the fuse.

HOWEVER, that doesn't explain why your outhole kicker keeps firing. (It looks like it is in the video?)

Quoted from zacaj:

Maybe there's a signal issue and it's firing the outhole instead of one of the drop banks?

Yeah - that was going to be another thought of mine - that there's a mad connection between the MPU and SDB boards, where not all signals are getting through.. Would want to check the plugs up in the backbox.. cracked solder joints, etc.

Though, I thought that only some of the coils went through the fuse on the under side of the playfield - I don't have my schematics at work here, so i can't verify that?
