Hey guys, I have a Williams No Fear that when I press the ball launch button there is a delay in the launch by maybe a second or 2, also on auto fire when the ball drains during ball save, its probably a 5 or 6 second delay. On multiball I can't tell if there is a delay, or how long a delay, but I'm sure its because it's less noticeable during gameplay, (I'm trying to score jackpots damn it!) Is this a board issue or maybe an opto? What can I test for? Thanks in advance for any help and guidance.

I tested the shooter lane switch its working fine, I made sure to test with a ball, not just pressing it with my finger to make sure the ball is triggering it properly. Its registering, however I did by chance find the right outlane was not registering, bad switch, so I replaced it.

UPDATE !!!!!! I checked shooter lane switch again, rolling a ball over the switch it registered, however the ball at rest in the position it launches from, the switch went back open. The angle/slope of the switch wireform was just a tad shallow at the shooter end, so after bending it up slightly so the switch would stay made, its fixed! Thanks Coyote!

I'd replace the opto that doesn't work rather than a whole new board.

I appreciate the help, I'm thinking this is the problem for sure. Bulb bases, micro switches, coils, I can unsolder/solder all day but tiny stuff on boards not so much.
