Mike,
I remember having issues like this when I first got mine. Yes, I switched out bad switches from PBL and they needed it, but I thought I had to adjust the actuators so the barely were in front of the ball. Mine were a little too far in front of, or perpendicular to the ramp. So when the balls start moving from a rest, they wont have the actuator impeding them. Just had the same exact issue on my MB, ball was getting stuck by the actuator.

Quoted from rollitover:

I was having the same issue, drove me crazy. One time, after sliding back the glass and taking off the Batcave to inspect matters I got tired of removing the two nuts and just left them off. It might sound a little hokey but "whatta 'ya know" it RARELY happens anymore.
Maybe there is a little extra vibration to move the ball forward? All I know is I haven't put those nuts back since and all is good!

Quoted from FiatsRUs:

I joined the club yesterday. My DMD has a single column that is not working. Is anyone aware of a fix for that? (Sorry if this has already been covered but I haven't read all of the posts)

Quoted from Trekkie1978:

New DMDs can be specially ordered through Action Pinball. It's costly and takes 4-5 months.

Quoted from Pinballocks:

Anybody using the updated ROMs notice a weird callout, "Lock 2" when the ball hits either right inlane rollover?

Quoted from Gogojohnnyquack:

The Game works great and needs a good cleaning. Ramps are good, no cracks, flippers are strong and make all the ramps. I haven't looked under the hood since I brought it home. That's tonight. There is one vertical line out in the DMD and the power connector definitely needs to be dealt with since it is intermittent.
Yes, bigbadmiker, I'm the guy who contacted you about a possible trade with my Johnny Mnemonic. I found this machine down in Beaverton and paid $1500, which other than the cabinet decals I find fair. I will put some work into it and see where it goes.
The guy I bought it from says he purchased it in Scottsdale AZ from Stuart Wright, who is now the Art Director at CPR. This is encouraging. I have sent an e-mail to him asking for more history on the machine and will update this when I hear from him.

Quoted from Gogojohnnyquack:

Yah, I'm not a fan of the DMD extender look either, and these big DMDs are as rare as hens teeth. On the DMD Extender I assume that rather than choosing colors to approximate an RGB color scheme that one could choose different shades of one color to look more like the OG DMD? I have a ColorDMD in my Johnny Mnemonic and love it, too bad there is no solution like that for these Sega games. Just not enough of them out there I guess.
I look at these machines as a hobby. I'm not trying to flip them, only to get them at a good price, fix them up to my liking, enjoy them for a while, then sell them for a fair price and try something new. I have Tales From The Crypt, Brahm Stoker's Dracula, and T2 on my list for the next machine.
I will say that this Batman Forever is a BIG candidate for LEDS, spotlights, and auxiliary lighting! With the stock 44/47 bulbs it is super dim unless the room lights are on and then there is too much glare on the glass. I can hardly see the in-lane lights through the green ramp. The back of the machine is a complete black hole!

Quoted from Trekkie1978:

The large DMDS are made when ordered. I have one coming in 12 weeks. I figure for home use, it will never burn out.

Quoted from Bendit:

Make a backup / copy of your entire sd card. You can keep the backup on a computer, or another sd card. Don't rely on just one card.

Quoted from Gogojohnnyquack:

I've spent almost 2 hours on adjusting these and am at my wit's end. I have tried raising the back of the machine, cleaning the rails and rollers and switches, bending them in every conceivable way, even researching opto retrofits! I am going to try inserting spacers to the rear habit rail mounts to try and increase the angle and give the balls more force. Next is maybe ordering new switches but I don't have much faith. Any and all help/pics is appreciated.

Quoted from CJD312:

Looking for pictures/video of LED kits for BF. Would like to see what the kit from cointaker etc looks like before purchasing. My machine has a number of LED's but in all white and would like to add some varied colors. was hoping the kit provided this so I was not all on my own and paying multiple shipping fee's. Thanks!!
