For those that have the hobbit and LOTR. Do you find yourself still playing LoTR? How does it feel after the hobbit?

Is there any way to reset the 'destroy ring champion' I was testing the game once with glass off and it kept the time with no name.
I just went into 'reset high scores' to see of there was a sub menu... No menu, it took of 1 to 4. Left GC Atleast. Don't really want to do a factory reset since my GC game was pretty good!
Quoted from JordanB:I replaced my Shire VUK and it's flaking out again less than 3 months later. It's weird because it clicks (adjusted properly) but flat out doesn't register maybe 15% of the time.
I saw in this thread that the diode should be removed from the pinball life replacement. I don't remember if I did this or not when I installed the replacement. Would it have an effect on the longevity/reliability of the switch if left on? Any suggestions on taking care of this once and for all? Thanks!
Wow. I was about to post the exact same thing. Literally replaced mine soon after buying. And 100 games later having the same issue!
The weird thing is is registered 100 percent of the time. Its just when it goes to kick the ball up it only kicks it half way in the air....
Tired about 15 times and then give an operator error. Thrn does ball search and kicks it up perfectly.
This is the same thing that happened when I got it and replacing it fixed the issue....
But what's actually happening here incorrectly? Why is the solenoid being so weak and what's it got to do with the switch?
Thanks.
Quoted from flynnibus:Switch is separate from your Actual kick action. Look for loose bracket, wire on coil, etc. could be alignment or broken/loose wire
Thanks. The issue is so temperamental. Which is what happen the first time. The coil and bracket look ok.
It just refused to kick up at all just now until 'coil malfunction.
Went to take video and it's started to work most of the time.
I went into switch test and noticed that when I press the switch with my finger it makes the switch sound once. When I roll the ball in it seems to go off about 3 times before kicking. The gimli switch does exactly the same thing but never has any issues kicking the ball up.
Here is a small video in switch test.
I have no issues replacing the switch again... Just don't want to keep doing it if it's something else. The switch arm does have a little bit of sideways action which I don't think it had when I replaced it.
