Just get a standoff and attach to the post instead of the nut. Get one tall enough to not allow the ball to get in there. I'd think that'd fix it up permanently.

This sounds horrible. Maybe a node network issue? If there is a node board test go into that and check it out. I'd also look at unplugging/plugging in the node board connectors.

Hope you get it going

On the fork ramp, my fork ramp wasn't going down right and staying up all the time. I went into the test and both the down and up switches were showing engaged when the ramp was up. I was able to manually adjust the down switch and it seems to be working just fine now.

I think the code changed how it was looking at the switches and expects them to only work when they are supposed to so some of you may need to try adjusting the switches.

Well looks like I'll go play my other games this weekend and leave the SW off until we know more. I'd rather not toast a board...

Well this sucks, I updated my SW to .92 the day it came out and have only played a handful of games because we went out of town. I'm in the leave it off camp, until I know what is going on. I didn't have any problems with mine after I adjusted the switches, but am weary to try playing and risk frying a board. However, I may just turn the thing on this coming weekend and play the snot out of it if we haven't heard anything from Stern by then.

During the update, I did leave the machine on for quite a while after it completed and pretty sure I left it off a while before turning it back on for the reset. I was doing other things as usual, so wasnt in any hurry.

Ok, I was mistaken. I only put .91 code on my machine. Is .91 safe to play? I don't have an older version around and no links on the Stern site to grab an earlier version and go backwards.

If we are sure it is only a 0.92 issue, then I'm going to fire it up and start playing again. I'm having withdrawals...

This sounds a lot like your USB stick isn't up to the task. I'd go pick up a new 16GB super fast stick, not the cheapest available. Format it, and then copy the code onto the stick. Make sure you EJECT the USB from the PC before pulling it out. Put it in the machine and switch it on. Then do a Full Upgrade with verification. (use the selectors to walk through the options). I've had issues with USBs on all pinballs, even from other manufacturers. These small boards are not as fault tolerant to slow/unsteady USB sticks.

Hope it works out. I was able to download .89 and downgrade my machine last night and it's all working fine.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get it straightened up soon.

So I got my spacer kit and cap kits installed yesterday and started playing SW again. I figured I wouldn't risk it and just wait until the kits came in. They went in fairly easily and the game still worked so I called that a win.

However, I hadn't played in a week or so and the first couple of times I hit the hyperloop, the diverter opened late and launched the ball all the way up the shooter lane via a bounce off of the glass. After those first couple of times it seemed to work just fine.

I'm wondering if this had more to do with the playfield being in an upright position while I added the spacers and caps, or if it's the result of not playing it for a week. Figured I'd mention it in case others notice the same thing after servicing the underplayfield in an upright position. It might be wise to open and close that diverter a couple times to make sure it is lined up well after putting the playfield down.
