Today at the start of the regular multiball, my RBION started rapidly resetting.

Any of the 3 rollover switches in the lock lane will now cause a reset, regardless of game state.

I also noted that with the balls removed, the game consistently resets when it reaches "12" on the "locating balls" counter.

Someone suggested it could be low +5 volts at the dot matrix control board but I haven't been able to test that yet.

Thanks!

Quoted from Vanapult:

Not at the "DMD control board", at the power driver board, where 5V for the entire game originates. There is a 5V and Ground test point, measure between those two test points.

Borygard is right, it's probably the 5v that's fluctuating and causing the reset. Here's a SB that does a good job of explaining. But I'd personally look at connectors, cracked solder joints, etc before following the SB.
