Quoted from RedFlash:

It is turning clockwise or counter clockwise?
It should only turn counter clockwise.
The motor who is turning the diverter is an ac motor.
So it can it normally turn both direction.
The clockwise direction is blocked by the gearbox attached to the motor.
If your diverter is turning clockwise too then one gear in the gearbox is worn.
Then there are two options:
- change of the gear
- change of the whole motor with gearbox
The diverter can only align correctly if its turning counter clockwise. The optos are otherwise registering the wrong position as stop.
Greetings from germany

Yes, it is going counter clockwise

So i'm not a "mod" guy...BUT i ran these LED Strips under the length of bottom (two strips spaced evenly) and on the rear of the backbox (Across the top, and left/right side) last night and tied it into the Green GI circuit. It's a really neat effect. I bought two and just cut them as needed to create an even effect.

I'm also going to put green Comet fast blinkers in 50% of the green GI to give a frantic crazy multiball blinky effect too!

I'll post a quick vid once the blinkers come in and i get them installed too...unfortunately Comet doesn't offer green blinkers, so i have warm white ones coming in...it'll wash out the green a bit BUT if i space them right it'll give a "starry" look and add some insane-ness to multiball too!

Hello everyone,

I just picked up a SS but it has a GI lighting issue. Only the left side of the play field lights up under regular lighting and multiball green. The right side doesnt light up at all under either regular or multiball. If I jump the common wires from right to the left they light up. Just trying to trace where the issue might be. I have 5v going into the power supply board which is an Xpin replacement, 5V at the fuses on the side of the box, but after the fuses does it go straight to the playfield? Been looking at connectors for any burning/overheating but have yet to find the issue.

One other finding, when testing solenoids, the green solenoid test does not flash the green lights, they stay on solid. Is that normal? They come on normally under multiball (left side)

Thanks.

The green lights do not flash in the solenoid test, they just turn on. I would look at the fuses for the right side of the GI given that sounds like it might be common to both problems. Right side of the backbox there's four fuses for GI:

Strange thing, I'm wondering if someone can help me figure this out:

— had the right jet bumper lock on a while back; it blew a fuse, burned up the solenoid, blew the tip122, it was a mess.
— replaced the sol, adjusted the leaf switch for the jet, replaced the tip122 at Q73 with a tip102, replaced the fuse at F3; I THOUGHT all was good...
— but now, all of the jets, and the right dock kicker, don't work. if I put in a fresh fuse at F3, it'll lock on the right jet again.

So, it seems that whatever locked on the sol at first still hasn't been fixed. And I'm not sure why these OTHER things aren't working now, either.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!

I believe you need to also change the pre driver on those as typically they burn up too when the driver goes out. Have seen this said many times on here to change both even if only one goes bad.

Do you think the resistors at R105 & R106 could have failed, too? They look a bit suspicious...

Either way I’m going to put an order in for replacement parts from Marco, I will likely replace all of those things. Just not sure what else I should be looking at, if anything...

Post a pic of the board in that area. I think you would know if the resistor took to much juice.
I don’t think the resistor’s are bad. But I could be wrong. Only been working on pinball for a few years. So I am still a noob!!
