Picked up a pinbot recently. Was playing fine but now it is stuck in rules mode. It just displays the rules on start. Some kids were playing it at a party I was having. They didn't open the coin door. Is there a button combination I need to hit?

Maybe a stuck tilt switch? Check the slam tilt on the inside of the coin door.
Not sure what you mean by rules mode, attract mode?

What lights are lit and what is happening when you press start?

It just keeps cycling through the rules on the four display windows. Everything seems to work, but flippers and ball kick out. When you hit the start button it shows the rules, doesn't start the game.

Here are the states the game can be in.

Sounds like its stuck in attract mode, likely caused by a stuck tilt switch.

You could try to get to switch test mode and see which one is possibly stuck.

Did the batteries die and now it's no longer on Freeplay. As it has factory adjust settings now.

All good questions. I'm sure it is something simple like this. I will be able to check it tomorrow night and will report back. Thank you.
