Greetings all you pinball lovers. I was playing my Star Explorer the other day (my grandkids love it) ..and the ball entered the galaxy bonus column on the left which triggered the siren alarm and is supposed to give you an extra 8000 points and stop. ..The problem I have is it triggered the bonus but will not stop. The alarm continues to sound and the points keep adding up. I have turned the machine off and on several times, hit reset button, reset the fuses etc. I have also taken it apart and looking for shorts. I cannot find anything. It's like the bonus got triggered but will not reset..... .. Help Any ideas ??

Not much out there in parts or help for home games.

Maybe this will help :

Thanks LTG.. Looked at the link you provided but did not see anything related to the problem I'm having with the bonus point reset function... I hate to trash or part out this machine since this is the only problem it has and was working perfectly two days ago. I also put a new rubber kit in it too.. I will keep looking at the forum or try to find someone else that may be parting out their machine as well for spare circuit boards...

I believe I have the same problem with my star explorer. Turn it on and the siren sounds and won't stop. Did you find a solution? If so, please advise.
