First day home, and it's broke after 3 games.

It's making a very loud "grinding" sound in the back, possibly the building. A ball got stuck in the building and it started looking for the ball, and the building went down into the Playfield and then back up. It was obvious the ball wouldn't come out on it's own, so I turned off the machine, reached up into the building to free it.

Turned it back on, loud grinding noise. During my 3 games, I had to turn the machine off twice to free stuck balls. My first game though, was awesome. I can see that's its going to be a killer game. Anyone experience a loud constant grinding in the area of the building? It stops when I open the coin door. I appreciate any feedback, thanks!

Quoted from gambit3113:
If one of the screws that holds the facing of the building backs out, it can catch as the building attempts to go up and cause the motor to bind. I had that happen once. Tighten up all the little screws holding the building plastics in place, and see if that does anything.

Quoted from docquest:
Make sure there isn't any wiring getting caught on the building as it's trying to move down. If its making that grinding noise you should stop it ASAP to avoid permanent damage.
The motor stops when you open the coin door because it opens up a safety interlock switch that disconnects the 48v power.
If you look to the lower left just inside the coin door you will see a white plunger switch. Pull it out and power will be restored with the door still open. [quoted image]

I just unplugged everything and plugged it back in and it worked. Thank you. I had left a camera in there when I turned the machine on, and I saw sparking on the board before doing that. I never left it on for more than 2/3 seconds, I was super quick about getting it off.

Any cause of concern for long term damage?

Quoted from PanzerKraken:
Man I feel like an idiot as it seems from vids folks just easily make it, but I can't consistently get the scoop shop from the left flipper. Letting it get super close to the tip and it usually will just go right to the mecha spinners or it just hits the UFO area and bounces right back. It seems like such a hard shot for me yet everyone makes it look so easy, I suck soooo bad

I bought flipper decals with rockets on them (just stickers) - and when the ball is on the tip of the last rocket for the left flipper, I shoot and make it 85% of the time. Before that I had trouble all the time, but those decals randomly had the right placement for a shot alignment on them.
