Hey guys. I recently installed plastic protectors and a new alpha ramp (with ramp protectors) but to do this work I had to remove much of the upper playfield.

After hooking everything back up and starting a gane I noticed that the mode would start automatically (as soon as I hit start). In some cases it would start as soon as I hit a flipper button. The strange thing is, this doesnt happen when I have the playfield up.

I've triple checked that all the optos are plugged into the right board/spot. Switch test only shows the trough and eos switches as active. There are no tech alerts and all switches and coils seem to be working fine.

I've checked the gap on the fire switch also. What other thoughts do you guys have?

I've had the drop target issue before, but that isn't the case this time. Drop target works as expected.
