I've looked through many other posts, but I couldn't find anything like I just experienced. Aside from a weak plunger, the game was working just fine a month ago. I turned it on tonight for the first time in a month:
- on powerup, the constantly tries to launch a ball, but balls don't always eject into the shooter lane, then the balls that do launch go to the VUK and eject back out to the flippers
- then when playing a game, multiple balls into the shooter lane, both at the start of the game and during the game
- when playing a game, left cannon rotates at random, whether its supposed to or not, and tries shooting the ball that isn't there
- I somehow got to warp 9.6 without hitting a single warp and after draining all three balls
- balls would drain, but the game would keep on going and scoring imaginary hits
- there were many more anomalies that I don't recall
I had previously replaced the CPU board as the old one had acid damage, so I can't imagine that has anything to do with it, but the randomness of all the issues certainly points in that direction.
Any other thoughts?
