Quoted from shacklersrevenge:

Chaz: "'well...they're kind of designed a certain way that makes them very difficult to repair, not sure what we can do...maybe send it in, and we'll look at it...''

Stern meets Apple? This is one of the most customer-unfriendly statements I've heard from any company in years. Sad that it actually came from a pinball company.

Quoted from twenty84:

My own experience is Stern has been more than fair with replacing these boards even when they are out of warranty

Even better, offer a "maybe" warranty so customers think they're covered... til they're not.

6 years without schematics is complete bullshit. I want a Maiden but I guess I will have to make do with location play til Stern sorts this out. Thanks for the reminder, Shackler.

Quoted from shacklersrevenge:

Yes, the two boards are linked together and the same with 3 dip switches a piece, so I had to reverse the dips and swap the boards with each other. My guess is, that there are say (wild guess) 20 switches per board, and perhaps the switch that went bad on board A, isn’t utilized on board b or vice versa.
Reversed, the bad switch on the drop target that registers for “up” isn’t needed on the top inlane switch, because it just registers “down” and not both directions.
either way, it seems like dumb luck.

Glad it's working, but it sounds like the board is still bad, which doesn't help my confidence level with Spike at all.

We need Flash 'Where's the code?' Instinct to start a "Where's the Schematics?" campaign pronto...
