Quoted from Eric_Manuel:

In the lengthy process of migrating from the original "punch down" connectors to the .156 08-52-0113 Trifurcon Connectors. The original punch down connectors on a lot of old machines come loose, or barely make a connection. Eventually cause a fire or failure.
This process not only provide an new, clean surfaces for the electrical connections, but also mandates a close inspection of everything. Yes, that is a new Rottendog Driver Board in the background. Love their products...redesigned, quality made and plug and use.

Is it worth redoing all the pins? Those look like new harnesses. Is it worth all the work?

You all are so helpful for keeping this game running, I am going to admit I can't figure this out myself and ask for your expertise. Can you all help me chase my last few bugs? The game is playing fine, but I have this cascade of check switch errors. I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix it.

Check Switch 32 under Gun SW2
Check Switch 38 Left Gun Shooter
Check Switch F1 R. Flipper EOS
Check Switch F5 UR Flipper EOS
Check Switch F5 UR Flipper EOS

I'm guessing one thing is off causing an entire bank to fail.

Also, this post for the Delta quadrant ramp is broken, but I'm not sure what part on Marco it is. Can someone verify for me?

Sorry, does anyone know the answer to this?

Quoted from Zitt:

Check for bad column driver if it's a column.
Might be a bad connection somewhere if not a driver.

Thanks for the suggestion! Would you mind explaining a bit more about that?

Quoted from Manny65:

The last 2 check switch in your list are the same - was that supposed to be another switch or was just a duplicate by mistake? If you go into switch test mode do each of the above switches work properly?
In regards to the delta ramp post, it is made up of 2 posts - https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/02-4659-1 goes into the PF and would have a rubber sleeve on it, and then https://www.marcospecialties.com/control/keywordsearch?SEARCH_STRING=02-4934 screws into the top of the first post to help secure the wireform. These parts are listed in the manual on Posts page (pg 2-33)

You are correct. I accidentally transcribed the same error twice.

Thank you for that part number and the suggestion. I’ll go try that now. What is the best way to correspond these errors to the switches? Just guess and see which one fires? Or is there a table in the manual.

I guess when I identify which is not working, the best idea is to resolder and if that fails, replace the part?

Thank you for sharing your expertise. It means a lot to me.

Quoted from Manny65:

Need to identify the issue first
Go into Switch Edge test (T1), look at the switch matrix picture on the DMD - none of switches on the far right column should be highlighted. Then stage the right flipper button - this will trigger the lower right flipper and on the screen it'll light F1 and F2 (the top 2 switches on the far right column), then push the flipper button fully in which will trigger the upper right flipper and on the screen it'll also light F5 and F6 on that column. Is this what you see?

Not quite. Nothing is highlighted in that quadrant when I start the test. Left flipper triggers f4 and f8. Right one triggers F2 and F6.

Quoted from Manny65:

Ok that shows none of the EOS switches are working
1. Lift the PF and activate the flippers - while the flipper bats are up (aka energised) look at the EOS switch on the flipper mech and verify that it has physically closed
2. Check and reseat J906 on the fliptronics board which connect to the EOS switches - retest in switch test mode
3. If no luck, remove J906 and while in switch test mode jumper J906-6 (far left pin) to one of pins 1, 3, 4 or 5 - do you see the switch closure on the DMD? Given each of the board's two LM339 chips do a combination of EOS and flipper switches and the flippers work I suspect that they are fine and issue is with the common ground pin/wire. If this test shows EOS switch closures on the DMD then the issue is with the ground wire or the socket; if the jumpering test doesn't show switch closures then I'd suspect solder cracking on pin J906-6

Manny, you are the hero I needed. THANK YOU.

I knew someone here would walk me through this so I could learn how to diagnose these kinds of errors.

I will give that a try and report back!

Is my STTNG missing a piece where my thumb is? The entire assembly just shakes so easily.
