Never changed batteries before. Anyone know of a good tutorial with pictures? I tried a search but it was all super specific in-depth issues.
Quoted from bigguybbr:I think it is a CR2032 coin battery on Spike 2 CPUs. Probably only needs to be swapped every 5-10 years. You likely don't need to yet.
If you take off your translight you should see it in the center of your CPU board. The complete swap probably only takes less than a minute, which is probably why there isn't an in depth guide.
Thank you! And is it true that if you change the battery while the machine is still on it won't lose your high scores?
Quoted from DrJoe:No example of TMNT needs a battery change anytime soon.....don't "fix" things that aren't broken!
Thanks I have a few others that are older and was more or less asking for them as well. And Pinside keeps reminding me to change them so I wanted to ask the audience

I have also experienced TP multiball weirdness on my Premium since updating to code 1.5. It's not every time. During TP multiball when you drain down to the last couple of balls, the trough eject shoots them back up to reload the Turtle Van, but for some reason the diverter is not activated and the balls keep coming back into play well after the ball save has stopped, even well into single ball play. When I shoot them back up the right ramp though, it usually catches them at that point.
I've noticed this also during Ninja Pizza MB, particularly when I have 3 gummy bear toppings (which adds a ball for each) and the 3 extra balls come from the turtle van, not the trough (since there are only 2 down inside the trough). It's very strange. Glad it's not just me.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:Just ordered an Insider Connected kit for my TMNT premium from Old Town Pinball. They have two premium kits left, pro's are out of stock.

Can these be hardwired via ethernet cables? I have Cat6 wall plugs behind my machines and would prefer to use that instead of WiFi.

Quoted from Dustwel:Was there ever any consensus or guide on how to handle the sword shooter rod issues? I’m on my second one and it only plunges halfway up the lane. Installing it was a PITA due to the screw closest to the side wall being tough to access. I’ve read you can swap the spring which I can do, just seems ridiculous it wouldn’t work out of the box.
Different spring didn't help me. The problem is that they used the same standard length shooter rod shaft inside the katana, but as you can see the katana sticks out further from the machine than normal, hence a greater distance from the ball when the tip is at rest. To combat this, I removed one of the washers from around the outer spring near the hilt. That shortens the position of the rod tip to the ball ever so slightly, which gives me plenty of power to make it all the way around. Granted I am pulling it back harder than a normal plunger, but once you get the feel it works much better. Hope that helps.
