Hey guys,

This topic is probably in the wrong section, i searched but have no idea were the place it?

Soon as i push the start-button and even before the ball hits the playfield, the display shows that with 8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 more hits Multiball is achieved and here comes the rest of the balls. so, a sort of instant Multiball is the "error" and the "detection" of the "nearby the target" is of.

Any idea were to search for the solution?

I uploaded a video on Youtube with the problem:

your help is much appreciated!

Sounds like an opto issue. Optos for the cabinet are reading due to cold solder joints or a broken wire flexing and making contact triggering the optos

Go into switch test and hit the playfield with your hand and something will register. What registers will be the switch with the issue most likely.
