Quoted from todler:

Anyone having issues with a ball getting stuck behind the fork ramp on the hyperloop? Updated to the new code at the weekend and it happened a couple of times while playing Boba Fett Escape with Han Solo. Seemed fine with other characters.
Ball sits behind the ramp and does a ball search twice but the forks don't go all the way down (stay up about 5mm above playfield). On the third ball search the ramp goes fully down and releases ball.
This isn't a mechanical issue as it works with no problem on other modes and never happened on previous code.

My fork just got stuck over the weekend using .92 code. Nothing seems to work in terms of making it move again. Going to have a troubleshoot walkthrough with my distro tomorrow. Maybe I'll break out the whiskey later tonight and have a go at fixing it.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

Why are you still running v0.92 when v0.93 has been out for 2 weeks already?

My son recently had surgery, so it was one of those, "I'm going to get around to it" tasks.

Quoted from dnapac:

.92 burns the 9D board out (gives power to the fork ramp motor). That's why Stern took it down and updated to .93. Call Chas at Stern and they will send out a new board (first make sure I'm right about that board. You should see an obvious burn mark in the center right of the board...around D2.

That's my fear from what I've read. I'm going to take a look at it this morning. Thanks for the heads up.

Quoted from fosaisu:

Yeah, I don't know if your board is burned or not (if the ramps still moving at all, I'd guess not), but that "ramp stays up a bit" thing was definitely a .92 problem. Upgrading to .93 solved it for me. I would try updating first before you call Stern and ask for board replacement. If nothing else, they're going to tell you to upgrade first anyway before they send you a replacement board.

For sure. I updated to .93, still the same issue as of yesterday evening. I'm about to check the board itself. Pretty sure the board is fried at this point. My distributor wants to do a quick troubleshoot before escalating to Stern, which I'm fine with. I'm glad all parties involved are jumping on this issue quick and solving it.

Quoted from pinmister:

JJ is great I just have an issue spending that much on a pinball machine. I have the money but it is about principle to me. The routine price increases from Stern have made buying an LE a difficult pill to swallow. There is a NIB on marketplace for $8500 OBO so I figured maybe a dealer is sitting on one and they want to turn some inventory. It may be wishful thinking but sometimes patience pays off.

$8500 is the lowest I've seen. With the new movie coming up, prices are most likely to remain very steady.

Finally got a new node board in. They ended up replacing node board 9, but this has caused a new issue. After switching out boards, when I boot up the game I get the message "node not found." So now the situation has become that the game can't even locate node board 9. DIP is correct, red / yellow / green LED lights are all present, everything is wired correctly. I'm going to call my distributor again and keep troubleshooting this weekend. I figured I'd see if anyone else knows what to do or has any ideas on what I could possibly do to troubleshoot the issue? At this point, my guess based on other people's SW board issues, that it's possible that 9d is a failed board.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

Did you update to 0.93 yet?

Yeah, it's 0.93 code.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

Then likely it is. Hope you get one from your distributor quickly.

It ended up being 9d. All is well now and back to flipping.
