I'm having odd issues with my Star Trek Pro - it sometimes launches extra balls into the trough, and sometimes ends games early, while a ball is still in play. I just want to focus my efforts - would this generally be a switch problem (especially in the apron/trough), or something else?

Two small opto boards at end of ball trough. Reseat connectors to them a couple times.

If issue returns, reflow the solder on the optos and pins the connector plugs onto. On those boards.

LTG : )

Holy balls, really? I've been ignoring that issue for months, and it was just loose/oxidized connectors? Sheesh. The solder joints don't look like they have any cracks, and reconnecting them several times seems to have made the issue go away.

Thanks so much!!!
