Quoted from Rene368:Digging up this old post and hope someone can assist me.
I have a Champion Pub with the same issue.
When I turn the machine on 9/10 times the jump rope motor won't initialise and keeps spinning fast.
Going into the menu and leave or turn the machine off and on it will initialise correctly and works great.
I also went in the test menu when it did not initialise and the test works great.
Also when it did initialise, turning the machine off for say 1 minute and turn it back on will not result in the motor not initialising again.
When you let it off for a day and turning it back on, will result in the 9/10 times it won't initialise.
Were could I start searching?
Help is appreciated.
Same thing happening with my CP. I'm not great at diag but looks like this has stumped even veteran pinball fixers. Any recommendations
