My first pinball machine and I have a question (Jurassic Park)

if the key turns, you should be able to lift the backglass up an inch and lift it out. The lock just keeps the top of the glass from going any higher, thus when you unlock it, allows for it to be removed.

Turn key, lift up backglass from the bottom, then slide it out by pulling out and letting it slide down. Once the backglass is out, you'll see a white board with lights on it. Should be a latch on the right you lift up and open it like a car door.

JP was my first pin too!!! Congrats!!!

Congrats. Good luck at stopping at one!

Hi Mike! Welcome! JP was my first pin too, and I was clueless when I got it. The guys above told you correctly. Good luck with it and there are plenty of people here that are willing to help. I'm still a pin newbie but will be glad to help if I can. If/when you decide to mod yours any, there are a few good threads where people have added lights, dinos, and in my case even a goat.

Congrats on the new game enjoy ..... play more pinball

Congrats on your first pin! JP is a great one and I certainly love mine!!

So you can maybe get help from locals, it would be nice to know where you are.

Congrats on JP, it's a great pin.

Love mine.

I just bought JP two weeks ago. It's my first pin. I've had a couple issues so far but had been able to fix them on my own. I've never soldered before, but it worked out fine. Enjoy the pin, my family and I adore it.

Peace

I just picked up a JP myself last night. A few minor adjustments to make but my kids and myself are enjoying it!

Your manual should tell you but you open coin door and to the right should be a black and green button...ensure the green button is depressed and hit the black button this will take you into audits and adjustments...use the black button to move to the next catagory if you want to go in reverse press the green button then the black...the sttart button with change what ever option you are currently looking at............. to enter the diagnostics menu turn on or restart machine ensuee green button is pressed in then hit the black button....hope this helps

I just recently got a Jurassic Park pinball machine and we cannot find the key to reset the game. Before it was powered down, it worked just fine. I got it after a remodel and after it was powered down, it will not allow me to play.

Any advice as to how to get a key?

I have no advice on how to get a key, but any lock on a pinball should be REALLY easy to pick. Just look up some videos of it and give it a try.

I'm a newbie also. The one thing I've learned is don't be afraid your going to mess it up (within reason). If you are going to learn you have to dive in. Best tips I've learned so far? Most of my problems have been loose/bad connections that were easily fixed. If you take something out, take lots of pictures so you know where the wires go and how that piece goes back in. I get discouraged when my machine keeps having problems but excited and pretty proud of myself when I'm able to fix it. Enjoy, I think JP is a pretty fun game.
