I just had the same thing happen.
my score was about 150mil then bang 6 billion this happened twice and then the letters for high score wont stay at a particular letter they keep scrolling through the letters.
I have recently had it fixed and my settings are all over the place.
Any thoughts on a cause.
I will try reset to factory settings and see what happens.
1.5 bill is my legit highest score.

#18 11 years ago

I just got 6 billion again on a combo.
I have not reset factory settings yet.Played 3 games all normal then 6 bill on a combo.

#20 11 years ago

I did not have mine on tournament mode and it was on free play.
I have done the factory reset and I have put it in tournament mode and I just got 6 billion on a bracelet multiball.
What is going on?

#25 11 years ago

I have changed reduced scoring to yes which means trade quartz is 5 and 25 mill.
Have played a dozen games and have not got a 6 billion hit.
On the other hand my average score would be only 150 million.Dont know if that has anything to do with it.
Would it help to get new ROMs?

Well Stargate is up to old tricks.
I have just resoldered a wire back onto the upper left kicking target.
And got a 6 billion point kick.Twice.During different games.
Any more info on this problem?
Bad diodes?

#33 10 years ago

There was only one wire and one end of the diode off the switch so I am pretty sure that it went back right.
But I did just put a few extra LEDs in the machine just before it went crazy.
I will check on the tournament mode.
Thanks.

#34 10 years ago

It is in tournament mode.
How do you put credits on the machine?
When I turn off tournament mode I need to put credits on it.It has always been free play as I don't think the coin mech works and it takes Euros which we don't have.I came up with 3 credits but I don't know how I got them
The checksum is 352B.Is this an old ROM?
I will have to do the remove the lamps one at a time and play test next.(in tourney mode)
Thanks

#39 10 years ago

Have done a test and the switches that come up are

21 glider motor stop
24 out hole
34 trough
35 rollover drop target
does this mean these switches are suspect?Check each one in edge test?
3 of these are close to each other on the matrix(I think it is the switch matrix)
I am a bit lost at the moment.(beer not helping)
Any advise very welcome.
Cheers.

The 6 billion is only awarded when I get the first free game(extra ball) at 300mill.It then jumps to 6.5bill.
I had the glass off and when it clicks 300mill I get the 6 bill.
Did it 5 times in a row.
Only a problem if you get 300mill I suppose.
May have a beer and watch the football.

#42 10 years ago

Thanks Viperrwik.
Yes drop target was down.
That's good news I will get a new rom.
Once again great advise.
Thanks 'you da man'

#43 10 years ago

Ordered Roms.
Had to get a sound one also.

#45 10 years ago

Sorry it was not the sound ROM.I did not read suppliers reply properly.
This is the message I got from my supplier.

I have version 4 which uses version 3 display rom

So 2 roms = $18 + $8.25 postage = $26.25

He is in the top of East Aus and I am at the bottom of east Aus.

So after breaking off a leg on a ROM I have finally got the replacements installed.But when I turned it on there was no familiar Stargate bing and no display.I have reseated the cables but have not reseated the ROMS as I had a hard time getting them in.
Any ideas.
My next move is to reseat the ROMS but they feel like they are all the way in and they are in the right way.
Thanks
Scott.

#47 9 years ago

Oh it reads like I installed the broken ROM.
I got another new one.

#51 9 years ago

I have put the old ROM back in and it has booted up.
I then did a factory reset and the billions problem is gone.
Supplier is going to send me another ROM.
I did have the board on a table to install them.
Thanks.

Have installed new ROM.Turned it on and got error message.Turned off again then on and it has booted up.
The issue I still have is that when I try to put initials in when I get a high score the letters scroll through and I cant pick a letter.Both flipper buttons do this.Any ideas on a fix for this?
I also lost a line on the DMD display.
Cheers

Hi Boof-Ed. I have not had an attack of the billions for 3 years now but I still have the problem of letters scrolling when putting in initials.It is not part of the game and I still dont know why it happened.Sorry I have not been more helpful.If you find any reason please share. Cheers
