Went and changed the drop target to a mezelmod one (really nice btw) on my Premium and now for some reason, the target doesn't respond when struck. It will also stay down when the game starts and the system will pop it up but it will not register when hit. I put it in switch test mode and the optos behind it (lower and upper) where the magnet is register.

Not sure what is up but frustrated. :\ Any ideas?

Everythings plugged back in, verified the opto boards underneath are lit. Opto and power connectors both attached.

Figured it out, had to sand down the target a bit around the top edges. Also made the "fin" contact on the target a bit darker with a black sharpie. Kind of had a light blue color to it. So remember kids, if you get the Mezel mod target (which is awesome btw, lights up nicely even) sand it a bit around the top and top sides and darken the contact for the opto.

Thanks Chrizg for reminding me however, I have forgotten before.
