my table is displaying some odd behavior out of the blue.

each press of the flipper button (L and/or R) will trigger the outlanes. points are scored and lights are lit without any ball movement. it can be a small, quick press of the button, or a full press and the table awards the outlane. when starting a new game it won't let me cycle through characters. as soon as the ball is loaded it fires and selects the character for me. i don't believe it is a vibration issue as i've pulled the ball and tried every type of shake to cause the same event, but only flipper buttons cause the outlane scoring. any ideas?

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

To help troubleshoot, I would suggest entering diagnostics and look at the switch tests. You can also navigate the menus with the flipper buttons.

I did that today and I got CN11 right lane triggered when pressing right or left flippers. I checked all cat5 cables and checked for loose connections, but didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

Does this happen when the machine is first turned on after being off for a while or after warming up? Or does it matter?

it happens every time and in every situation.

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

Assuming wires and connections are good, you can call Stern tech support and they will help troubleshoot.

to the best of my knowledge they all look good.i checked for loose connections on all boards (pin connectors, cat5, plugs, etc.).

the table is only a few months old and was BNIB. no mods or poking around other than gaping a tie fighter switch that was smashed too close during game play.

Problem resolved. The outlane switch was stuck and causing all of the problems.
