Just finished updating to 1.5, at the same time installed the Pinbits Vengeance disc mod. All I did was remove the two plastic bits off the top of the Vengeance saucer, put the blue pespex bits in, put the plastics back on.

First game, first ball gets stuck between the lower pop bumper and the post beside it to the right, as it does with monotonous regularity. While I'm waiting for the game to go into ball search mode, the Vengeance drops and stays down. The machine eventually fires everything to unstick the ball, but the Vengeance stays down. I enter diags for the test, but it says "unable to open or close". I pull the glass to try move it back to home position, but it doesn't want to move (both with power on and off). The spring bends but coil plunger underneath looks stuck forward.

I thought I'd seen a post on here earlier about a stuck-down Vengeance but unable to find it.

Any ideas? I'd rather not have to pull the damn thing apart to fix it (but I know what's coming......)

Cheers,

Thanks mate. After a bit more searching I found the post that talks about the Vengeance locked down. I'd simply searched for "Vengeance" thinking that would be enough to find it. Silly me.

Anyway, I went into the coil tests and frigged with #56 Vengeance Latch, which quickly unlocked it. I ran the Vengeance test from Diags -> Game -> Ship, and it seemed to go up and down ok. My daughter is playing a game now with no problems.

So I guess I dodged the bullet this time, but just wondering if it will bite me on the arse again. Of course, the ball getting stuck on the bottom pop will definitely happen again......
