Quoted from Lermods:I wonder how this will ever get fixed. If the issue is caused by intermittent power loss to the board because of either bad connectors/pins or zip tied wiring that causes fraying, not much stern can really do. Seems like it will be up to each owner to inspect their connectors and wiring and fix on their own. Stern can send out new boards, but the board itself isn’t the issue unless they can figure out a way to manufacture boards that won’t blow if there is power loss. That still doesn’t fix the underlying issue of power loss. Hopefully new batches of games will resolve the issue.
So. If it is the cables running to the clock and ramp, wouldn't running new wiring from them to a new replacement board fix the issue since the damage appears to be related to these devices?
Quoted from Lermods:I think so, but how many people are capable of doing that? Maybe stern will have to cover the cost of a service visit.
Sending out node boards doesn’t seem like a good idea. We’ve already seen a few posts where the board has blown a second time.
Ill take the cable harness' and node, doesn't look too difficult.

Quoted from MJK-911:Happy to report game has been playing excellent, the new ramp motor with direct connection to the Node board is the answer!!!! The ramp sure is an important part of the game. Excellent pinball machine !!!
Great to hear! Is this Sterns new fix? Replacing all three?

Received my replacement node board and ramp motor. Everything was pretty straight forward:
1) updated code
2) installed node board and ramp motor.
Went into ramp menu and it said something about "disabled by adj." I think I had an option to enable and the ramp started working. Anyone know what "disabled by adj" means?
BTW, when you start a game, is the hour light on the clock on 5?
