Just opened up a BL and have a problem with the bowling alley that we can't seem to find the answer to. Originally if you bowled, the pins did nothing. no registration of bowling and it eventually failed you even though you could bowl the ball.
Testing the alley, the pins in the solenoid test section, all of the mechanisms work. The optical sensor registers, it all works gread. You can go into the gear motor menu and see that the LEFT TO RIGHT function is working properly and reading the info correctly.
After testing, the alley worked, *kind of* for a while. I say kind of because it flat out was not reading the ball launch correctly The second the ball was let go, the machine would flip the pins it knew you would hit before the ball got close to it. Then, the next round it would work perfect, a few rounds later, back to "pre-predicted" bowling.
Now, no matter what, it flat doesn't work. All the switches, sensors and solenoids work great.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
