The solution is to loosen the screws and reposition the LEDs so that they are directly under the hole/plastic. By default they are off-center.

The new all access show has been delayed, darn:

Yeah I'm pretty bummed about this, but I'd rather have them take a little more time and do it right than rush and put out some shit.

cool thanks!

So now it's $10 a month for an "ad free" version???? NO WAY!!! I'll wait for it to come out on dvd.

This only works with my PWM Dimmer. To do this; I cut the ground line on his lighting kit (black wire) and left the red + wire connected to the laser motor. I then connected the black wire to Aux PWM channel 4 on J5 of the PWM dimmer. This allows you to control the lighting with a PWM channel in both modes.

The mosFETs on my PWM channel can handle 20VDC; which works for the laser motor. I'll try to confirm the configuration for sure tonight when I get home from work.

I also sell the higher power lasers which work perfectly with the PWM Dimmer. i offer Blue in addition to the Green and Red Lasers offered by others.

Is there a safe way to start the next mission in Star Trek Pro? I know some people can backhand the 'Away Mission' but I cannot seem to get close to hitting that shot even when barely skimming the sling. Is there a similar technique for the 'Mission Start'?

I finally got around to stitching together the autographs I got on my STNG translite. I got these autographs over SEVERAL Star Trek conventions. The last one was #STLV50 in Vegas where the wife got Whoopi's autograph and I got Denise Crosby. I know; that neither of these people are featured on the backglass... but for me it's not about being accurate to the glass; just being honored to have the signature.

I'm not sure who else I'd defiantly get on the glass as I gotten all the "regulars" on the show w/ the exception of polaski.

Already there. That's his over the Enterprise in the tractor beam.

Jonathan Del Arco (Hue) is next to the borg face in the top center.

Good ideas. not sure where to put them tho.

Was she really a regular in STNG? DS9; yeap... but not sure about this show. I stand correct.
I'm not sure I've ever heard of her being at a convention. - now that I think about it... I remember her on stage during a Vegas evening show... so I just have to remember that for the future.

Gowron was played by Robert O'Reilly.

Is the centre target (Vengeance) on Stern Star Trek meant to give you a momentary ball save when you hit it?

My ball save insert light flashes when I hit, but I've never been awarded a ball save when it shoots back STDM or cannons straight down the right outlane.

'Feature' that's supposed to be there and isn't? It would make sense that there was one, and the light indicates there is, but never got it.

Tough to say. Only the programmer could answer I suppose. Hadn't noticed the ball save light flash though, but will keep an eye out for it.

My strategy is usually to backhand the drop from the right as that generally seems to be a safer shot to get control of.

Ball save insert seems to light as part of the light show. Same thing as the extra ball light.

The EB thing only flashes on locking a ball in Vengeance / Multiball / Mini-Wizard start, and as you say is part of a light show.

The insert (and nothing else) just flashes when you smack the target ... it looks to me like it should (or at least did during some stage of development) incorporate a ball save.

If it was intended to or not, I agree with the current code. Some shots are supposed to be dangerous.

Ehhhh - easily the least-interesting doctor in all of Star Trek canon... I wouldn't be too upset about not having that one. Diana Muldaur was a much better character on TOS.

In terms of more autographs, maybe Armin Shimerman. He had a small part as Quark on TNG.

I recently looked her up on IMDB to see what she had been up to. Interestingly, she quit acting back in 1993. Very strange, considering she had been extremely active in TV and film for three decades.

My STLE is sold.

Diana was suppose to be at #STLV50, but alas; she didn't make it for some reason.

ARGHHH! You should have sold it to me!

Oh, wait!

You DID sell it to me! Thanks, Gweem! She's a beauty, and I promise to take good care of her.

Imagine how pissed you'd have been if you'd got it, and then the game locked up due to the bugged code ...

Sorry. That sucks. But at least you still have something to strive for.

Are you drunk?

before or after his game?

right...

So whatever happened to the code update to Stern Star Trek that was supposed to happen last year?

Well supposedly Lyman & Dwight (and or others) are looking at how to fix some of the many bugs, some of them game breaking (wizard modes or modes in general bugging out) and some of them very annoying (sometimes away team mission start / end shot doesn't start or end the mission and just fires out on Level 1 missions). Even if there are only fixes and no new code, sound or animations, I hope they at least program in some better use of the lights on Premium / LE on the multiball and wizard modes.

I also hope for a momentary ball save on vengeance target (light is already there) .. Vengeance scoring is a useless mode as you almost always want to avoid it (let it time out) due to the very high probability of unsaveable drains.

But of course new code would be nice too. Either way, doubt it happens soon, especially with the license expiration.

I don't have any issue with Vengeance drains. Is your game leveled correctly, especially side-to-side?

Tech question, I just picked up an STLE (had it shipped to me) the light up side armor isn't working properly (see Pics) it seems like something came unplugged? On the right side of the game in the back of the cab there is a small board that runs to the lighted armor and it appear that the 4 pin plug had something plugged into it (a few of the pins or bent like the plug had been pulled off maybe when the head was folded down. there is a plug with two wires that is a five hole plug shown in the picture by it but The plugs don't match. Can someone take a look at their STLE and tell me if it looks like what is pictured below. Has anyone had their STLE side armor do this? Any ideas/thoughts would be appreciated!

Update: I got home and restarted the game and the rail lights started working. I will keep an eye on it maybe a loose connection or something.. the game sure is a beauty! (See last pic)

False. You're most likely going to need that 2nd EB if you want to progress through the game.

This.

When my game is level, a ball falling out of the Vengeance will almost always go to the tip of the right flipper. Vengeance 2 is very beatable on my pin.

Probably not. But it fires STDM and to the right outlane. I've had this happen on the ST Pro I've tried as well as my ST Premium, and most that I've spoken to say the same thing happens to them. Some shots are more risky than others, but unless you've found some secret sauce, I don't know how hitting it can be risk free. Risk is fine, but when there's an entire mode (that typically you get to when already some way into the game) based around a very high probability of drains with no momentary save, it seems a bit .... :-/

I'm not talking about it releasing a locked ball. To my surprise it has never drained from there.

I'm talking about bashing the drop, or worse in Vengeance Scoring having it fire back like the JP raptor pit and insta-draining ... there's a reason why ChadH added a ball save to the latter.

The Vengeance is the superior vessel to the Enterprise. You don't get to just attack it and not have to worry about losing your ship.

I think the risk / reward of vengeance modes is very awesome

so many times ive been on ball 3 and could either go to my last mission 1 to start Kobyashi Maru or try and get that EB from Vengeance 2 and trying to make those decisions is a thrill when it pays off and when I blow it and drain on Vengeance 2, better luck next time.

Concretehardt, that LED board on the right rear of the cabinet looks correctly wired, when compared to the schematic in the manual and my own STLE cabinet (see pics below).

STLE_Cabinet_LED_Wiring (resized).jpg
STLE_Cabinet_LED_Boards (resized).JPG
STLE_Cabinet_LED_Board_Right (resized).JPG
STLE_Cabinet_LED_Board_Left (resized).JPG

OTOH, that loose 4-pin connector looks similar to the one that plugs into the top of the DMD inside the backbox. If I unplug that connector on mine, the wires are actually long enough to allow the plug to extend down into the the rear of the cabinet. That's the only other similar connector in that general proximity that I can think of?

Hope this helps.

I totally agree about the risk / reward choice of Vengeance 2. It is a very dangerous mode. I drain 1/3 of the time, get the extra ball 1/3 of the time, and just fail 1/3 of the time. I love it! The one time I got to EA was because I decided to go for Vengeance 3 and got the extra ball.

Very helpful! I reseated all the connections and everything appears to be working now, so hopefully I'm good. After reading your post I figure that the plug that is hanging down used to go to the DMD, the game has a color DMD in it so I'm guessing that plug isn't used. Now I need to figure out how to turn this sigma color DMD to Blue.

Thanks again!

Congrats! Glad to help.

I have two Color DMDs, and I've always used the customized, multi-colored ROMs programmed for the specific machines, so I don't have any experience with the standard SIGMA ROM, but the menu operation should be similar.

From the Color DMD website...

"How can I change the settings on my ColorDMD display?

ColorDMD controller boards include a simple four-button menu system for changing and saving display settings. The right button is used to enter the menu system. Then left and right buttons move through the adjustable settings which currently include color, display style, backlight, and mounting position. The inner buttons are used to modify settings. The "SAVE AND EXIT" screen allows new settings to be stored to the display."
