Quoted from Minnpin65:Geez! A quick glance at the poll results so far…looks to be a 30% failure rate! Not good!
Don't go there... yet. This is a very small data set and would think that there are many more LE/Prem buyers to yet hear from: Those with and those many more hopefully, without node10 issues. "please stand by" as our old 4 channel TV's used to say...

Removed the ramp motor connector, soldered and insulated the 4 permanent connections based on the excellent investigative work on this thread. Having just installed a warranty replacement Node8 board after a 9 month wait, I was going to take no chances that a node10 board issue might suddenly surface and destroy my now totally functioning RUSH Premium. As of today, a whopping 370 lifetime plays on the 4/25/22 build.

Wow. You have superb observational powers. Afer removing the original tight cable ties and inspecting insulation I thought the vinyl would prevent any further compression. Thanks for your analysis of the node10 situation.

Quoted from jonboy71:I can't stand the assuming resopnse of "We appreciate your patience". As if by saying that that resolves them from any further responsibility.
It could also be interpreted as "we would appreciate your patience". Just saying...

Quoted from Damagio:Well…just had my second Node 10 failure on Rush Premium. The original Time Machine ramp motor was also replaced as a recommended precaution and came with the node board. I am sure they will send me another one, but how many and more importantly for how long? The machine has less than 1000 plays on it and the first one lasted longer than the second one. No other electronic issues at all. Burn mark on U1 just like the last one…

I've been following this topic from the beginning, exploring all the proposed root causes: overly tight zip ties, wire guage concerns, connectors, ramp and clock motor issues, circuit design, on and on. What still confounds me is how about a third of the games are repeatedly experiencing node10 failures while the balance seems to have escaped the problem thus far despite number of games played.
If this were a design issue I'd expect it to effect all games eventually. If a technician issue you'd think Stern could track issue games to their assembly records. What gives? My game has escaped this issue but this crime has yet to be solved...

Quoted from mbwalker:The clamp-on chokes I ordered from Amazon are in shipping limbo. Amazon gave up estimating when they will show up. I could cancel and reorder, but I'll give it a couple more days.
The few times my Amazon orders fell into transit purgatory were always involving questionable suppliers and never arrived. If procurement is critical path, cancel and try another source if available.

Nah, they didn't contribute to this problem. Should be a Gary signature on a reimbursement check.
