Quoted from Crrispy:Played a brand new LE at a friend this afternoon. The kickback worked really bad, often missed the ball after 2 tries, not sure if it was a mechanical or code problem, but for sure, the code of a 1996 Totan is smarter 'cause when the ball save cages miss the ball and it drains, the codes knows it should not have drained and gives you the ball again.. Not the ST LE with current code...
The backbox flashers seem to only work in attract mode.
Oh when he got it unboxed 3 days ago, the dot was not working, its cable was disconnected. They EVEN spare a spot of hot glue to secure the connector like on previous models.... unbelievable.
Plus the usual led(s) that falls on the playfield, etc.. now we're used to that.
You sound outraged by the whole ordeal.... Sounds like pinball isn't for you or your buddy if its that big of a deal plugging in a connector or plugging an LED back into a socket. Its a complex machine has been shipped Half way around the world, so if that's all your buddy had to do I'd say he got off pretty easy.
Quoted from Admiral:A few people have said they have adjusted this.
Being new to pinball ownership (but pretty handy with some guidance) I would love to hear how these adjustments were made, please.
Thanks!
Yea the kickback can be aligned I think you pull the cover off and straighten it... Apparently it has some adjustability.

Quoted from blimpey:Follow-up, I'm back in the game tonight. I replaced front left drop target opto. with one from Metallica, not the easiest to get to. I had a combination of loose connectors, and a faulty opto.
I learned when requesting warranty parts from Stern insist on expitidted shipping. I'm still waiting for the replacement optos ordered Dec 31st. Today Stern said due to a cataloging delay my parts would go out tomorrow. Wow!
Blimpey was your problem caused by a faulty opto or a loose connector? I am getting random drop resets as well.
I am gunna check all the connections to the opto tomorrow.
