Hi Pinsiders.....

My RFM kicks 2 balls in the shooter lane, every time when I start a game, so the issue concerns opto switch #35 for the 4th ball

I have replaced both emitter and receiver led for this optoswitch, but no change.

When in switch test, the optos for the 3 first balls register normally with a short "bip".
But the opto for ball #4 creates a long "bzzzzzzzzz", similar at an electrical bad contact.....

I've wiggled the wires, no change.
I've unplugged and replugged the connecors, still no change.
All the other switches register correctly...

COuld you help me with some advice ?
I dont know what to look at so far....

Thx !!!

Problem at another switch on the same row or column ? Wired wrong, diode on backwards, short to switch lugs or wiring ?

If you worked on the game recently, start there.

Thanks for your reply.....
I have no issue with any other switch in the game...
Ans the emitter and receiver for ball #4 work correctly.
But together, I can hear a long bzzzzzz instead of a short beep...
Any other Idea ??
