Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

Getting node board 8 over charge error. Checked connectors and all are ok. Also trying to update the game with usb stick and doesn’t detect it when I start the game. Going to download the game code again or just create an image file and see if that works.

Quoted from flynnibus:

Well its telling you over current
Look for something shorted on the devices driven from that board

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

Yeah I have all red GI LEDs out from the middle of play field to slings. Going to look at the manual and see where node board eight is.

Quoted from Allibaster:

Here's some decent 4" speakers for $20 a pair. I have them in my TWD. The tweeters stick out a small amount, so you'll need to offset them with a nut or two.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

If you’re getting an overcurrent error. Go to diagnostic menu then node menu then node bus test. That should tell you what board is throwing an error and exactly where it is. Should say the lamp or coil causing it.

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

It’s on CN15 Chuck. Pulled connector from the board and error gone. It’s node board 8 in test mode.

So look for a smashed led bulb or something shorting a socket or gi wire

Quoted from jonnyqtrek:

I can't recall who originally posted about using Comet star post Fire LEDs to light the building from beneath the power line targets and behind the building (but will search later when time permits.)
First off, my thanks, because the power line targets lit from below look outstanding.
I did not try lighting the building from behind, but I did attach a hex spacer above the post to the left of the train ramp, and inelegantly taped a star post Fire LED there to aimed at the front of the building. It works pretty well and has the benefit of making the bridge look slightly apocalyptic as well...

Quoted from ChipScott:

Since you have the hex post there, you could add one of the Comet spotlights there ( secured with small standard machines screw) and use one of their wedge fire bulbs. Looks like there's plenty of room there and that would look clean.
Cool idea for aiming that fire bulb at the building.

Quoted from PiperPinball:

My LE is unplayable
The turn table wont move. [quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from PinMonk:

Look under the playfield, are there T-Nuts at the end of both of those holes? It sounds like one of the T-nuts is missing which is what grabs into the playfield and secures the screw you turn into it from the top side.
This is the wrong kind of screw on top, but should give you an idea how T-nuts work.
[quoted image]

Quoted from blueberryjohnson:

Checked under the playfield. It has a t nut on both holes, however the screw on the top won't go as far through the nut as the one on the bottom. I was able to get it down a little further than previously, so may leave well enough alone even though it isn't flush with the playfield.

Quoted from PinMonk:

So, maybe the T-nut is cross-threaded or has a burr in it? Seems solvable if you want to eventually just pop out the T-nut and replace it. Pre-thread the new T-nut before you install it so you know it works if you decide to do that.

Quoted from stevebighead:

Am I missing something? Isn't Godzilla supposed to be WIFI ready? Mine says I am missing USB WIFI adapter, can't connect?

Quoted from pacman11:

Is there a big difference between Pro vs Premium on this one? Looking to buy one..

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

I know it's been commented on many times but why does stern continue to use such crappy coil stops? I know it's all about saving a buck but in approximately 250 plays, right stop was completely shot and left was near as bad. I have pinball life ones on hand, 5 minute fix, but this needs to be fixed stern!

Quoted from PinMonk:

Stern has been shipping games with these known bad, crappy coil stops for YEARS now. All to save, what? 5 cents? Stern will cut costs past the point they should, just to find the line. Their cabinet and playfield issues testify to that.
And it IS a Stern problem, because the Pinball Life ones are rock solid once you make the change.

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

To be fair to stern, the coil stops are the only quality issue I've had repeatedly. Never had cabinet, field or SD card issues. But this is so easy for them to fix. Not a huge deal, on sale they were about 2 bucks is all. Maybe I'm grumpy cuz of all the vacuuming I had to do around pinwoofer amp and cab speaker

Quoted from Wmsfan:

It’s right on. Gotta replace them out of the box around 250-300 plays. You will feel it, and the improvement when you do.

Hi all,
I have a couple of questions after watching this review. I've just had my LE a few days...best score so far is 285 million. But there are a couple of things in this video I haven't seen on my machine.
In this video, I don't see the building collapsing down with the usual STDM single file spill like I get on my machine. In the video it looks like the building isn't lowering itself down and the balls exit the building from behind it or from lower inside it to start multiball?
Also, I've never seen my bridge completely separate and a ball fall between the two halves like in the video. Maybe it's happened and I just haven't looked up to see it during bridge multiball. If you look up for one second on this game, your ball is gone.
Appreciate any input. Thanks!

Quoted from Gogojohnnyquack:

Those are exactly what I have in my The Walking Dead (Pro) . They do improve the clarity but they are also less efficient than the cabinet woofer and thus the balance of the sound is no longer in the head but more from below. I have an in-line volume control to install on the woofer but haven't done it yet.
I got the Flipper Fidelity basic kit for Godzilla and the install went great until the woofer. Unfortunately the factory screws are to short so I need to get something to extend them. Hopefully my trusty Ace Hardware is open today, it snowed overnight and continues to dump which means that the PNW is all but shut down now - People out here don't really feel comfortable driving in this stuff!

Quoted from gumnut01:

You can adjust the levels between the cabinet and back box speakers in the stern volume menu. You can even set the crossover db so you can make the cabinet more or less boomey. I had bought all these resistors and in line volume controls and then found all the options in the volume menu. The thing that threw me off is a menu called volume made me think it only had volume in it. It is also where you set the speaker impedance.

Quoted from HurryUpPinball:

I just put the finishing touches on a mod to stop the Godzilla multi-ball SDTM issue. I have been testing this for the past few weeks and it works great. All three balls feed to the left flipper and you get a nice separation after they rebound off the flipper. Regarding installation, it takes less than 5 minutes. You remove the 4 screws holding on the two standard plastics on top of the building, remove the spacers from the old plastics and put them on this mod, slide the baseplate into position, and add the four screws. I have about 6 mods ready to go at the moment. I am selling these for $45 each which includes shipping. The mod can be found here:

Quoted from jonnyqtrek:

Cheers, I actual did try adding as a comet spotlight, but unfortunately there wasn't enough clearance between the post and the bridge to be able to rotate/aim the spotlight in any direction other than at the right ramp.

If anybody else does figure out a good way to jerry rig and aim it, do please post!
