Blackout
Williams, 1980I just got my blackout up and running, with great thanks to a Pinside member, Barakandl for repairing my MPU/driver board.
The only issue with the machine is that it makes a speech call out "Mission completed" when I engage the left flipper. It does it at least once every 3-5 flips. I went through the game and found the call out "Mission Completed" is for a special award from the outlanes. Can anyone guide me as to where to start troubleshooting?
Go into switch test. I think the flippers are active during this. Flip the flippers and see what registers.
Bang on the PF too and see if you can get activity. I am guessing you have a switched gapped too close together and the vibration from the flipper is closing a switch?
Make sure your flipper coil diode(s) are installed the right way and are not open.
Also you can pull switch, solenoid, sound data connectors to help try and isolate the issue.
Guys, a bad diode it was. it was gnawed away near the anode, it was still attached but hardly. I ran my finger on it and it snapped off. So that's why it didn't make the call out every time i flipped.
Barakandl, thanks again for everything. The game is running beautifully now, what a pain in the ass these sys6 games are.
