I found my SG a year ago, and i haven't stopped playing it since then.
Crazy challenges with flatmates and friends.
Now that I've bought a new DMD, I've decided to sell it. That was the rule I made.
But honestly, I think I'm gonna miss it!
But hey, I just can't have them all, can I?!

I was sure someone would say that!
But although I have a huge basement, I can't say the same of my budget.
And prices are raising like crazy around here!

Hello fellow Stargate owners !
I recently restored my second one (had sold my first one a few years back, and quickly regretted it)

Now, I have a quick question for you guys :

When in coil test mode, coil 15 : when pressing start, does your pyramid stay up, or does it directly go back down ?
I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't go up during a game while it does react in tests...

Thanks in advance.

cobra18t Nope. I'm talking about the pyramid itself.
It should be lifted and let the glider go forward and then move from left to right.
It just doesn't, and i can see the glider moving under it.

Okay then !
Thanks. Problem must be somewhere else...

Thanks for these info !
I'll get into this in the afternoon.

Well I'm totatlly lost there...

In tests, the pyramid goes up, and the glider goes forward, and on the sides too. But in game, the pyramid doesn't move.
What's also pretty weird is that the glider moves on the sides, behind the pyramid, but it doesn't go forward.

I've looked at the EOS, but it looks ok. I couldn't find a way to test it though, as it's not recognized in the switch test (like the ones for the guards).
I mean, when open, the pyramid doesn't open in tests. When normal, the pyramid reacts. So i assume it is fine.

I wish someone had encountered the same issue.

I might create a thread, as it's probably not the place......

Well !
It's a 50/50 situation.
I'm happy that i'm not alone to have that problem.
But as we won't be able to work on it at the same time...

Do u remember if that topic was on Pinside, or somewhere else? (did little point would rather make it a 60/40 )

Okay, so i think i'm onto something (or at least I hope)
I'll need a little help.

So, in a nutshell, my pyramid doesn't lift during Glider mission.

Someone told me the MA1334 sensor board was in charge of this, on the french forum.

Notice that the wires that interest me are in 3 and 8.

Now, on my 2A15J1 connector, 8 is empty.

Could someone PLEASE check theirs and let me know, or show me, what wire they have there ???

Hmm ! Thanks !
I realized I was looking at the wrong side of the playfield, thus the wrong board.
So i changed the MA2108 with a MA1338 without the jumper, but nothing changed.
Still no move from that bloody pyramid in game...

Thanks anyway @bonk
