Quoted from terryb:

Also, if I understand correctly right after a ball is locked the game locks up? At that point would it normally kick the ball out?

Thanks terry yes and up to that exact point it does release ball in all other cases. Just when it finishes that round. Ill go through all cables in test mode the solenoid and switches all work properly.

And I have to correct my self it is in the beast challenge round that it locks up
and yes flippers still work pop bumpers fire just triggering them by hand but nothing changes on the dmd it shows mega bonus and value

Quoted from rancegt:

Also, if you let the game sit does it search for the ball?

Ill have to check power supply tonight hoping to at least but I do know the game does not
search for ball. i let it run for awhile one time to see and sound continued to play and i could activate flippers and pop bumpers but nothing else would work

I will also run the lamp test that was suggested to
thank you everyone for advise and help

I ended up replacing the U8-G on the display board and solved the issue.
