Quoted from DCFAN:Also, make sure your code is updated to the latest version.
Can we update that with usb? I guess is no possible, i new the rom with the update right?
Quoted from comment23:ROMs would be probably the easiest place to start.
Pull and re-seat first. Then burn/replace if that doesn't seem to help.
So you know the manual page where i can find it? thanks

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Since I’m asking - has anyone had to repair or repaint the ring at the back of the game? Mine has gold worn off, and I’d like to re spray it. Anything I need to know?
You can repaint it with a airbrus easy 
pm me if you need some help
Quoted from Jappie:They're waiting for you to do it.
But seriously: I reckon the big differences in playfield quality that plague this title make it virtually impossible to produce one fitting decal that looks good on all LOTRs.
So so true...
Im having a issue, the mode sometimes start random when i press the both flippers at the same time.Any ideia where to look?
Need some help...
I have an EPROM chip Burner and i was trying to download the code to update my LORD, display and cpu, im still on the V6.00.
Any of you can send me the files, cant find them no more.
Thanks
Quoted from DCFAN:It appears the art is not centered with the inserts.
Is happens to all machines, some are more visible than others, i can live with that... my issue now is if there is a way to restore this small lines on the inserts.
Quoted from FatPanda:Are they decals? the circular line of dirt indicates that they might be.
No man, no decals!
That is a small line of dirt created when the insert along the ages goes a bit up or a bit down, and creates that line because acumulate dirt on that small spot...
Quoted from DCFAN:Novus 1 and if that does not get it then carefully try a little Novus 2.
I have Novus 2 in the house, for sure i can try that...
Quoted from Jarbyjibbo:It just looks like it needs a good shop out. Many write ups on how to do that out there. Every time I obtain a non NIB pin, I always do a complete top side tear down and clean and service all the mechs underneath.
Shop out is not new for me, just a bit curious if is possible to deal with this kind of issue... Thanks man
Quoted from Jarbyjibbo:I've never seen a solid shop out job done correctly not do amazing transformations with used PF's. At least that will tell you if that ring insert is cracked (looks that way) and the dirt has settled in the seam or not. Looks like the shoot again is cracked as well. Depending on how much it still bugs your friend afterwards I guess a PF swap is always an option. Since LOTR is staying in my collection for ever, I have an extra HEP perfected & cleared PF for just such an occasion.
Well the shoot again i think is dirty not cracked, but yes the outside of the ring have some small lines yes, is not the worst ever, actually is very nice, but im already thinking in something to fix that, after i will show you, maybe can also be an option to others.
Hi,
If someone is interested im restoring a Lord of the Rings, and ive made this decal JUST for the external part of the ring, is pretty common is not in the best conditions, mine was pretty good, but ive put it to protect it, to give it a perfect look, and with a playfield protector

Thanks Man! Looks really amazing in person, im very happy with the final result.
Quoted from Gogojohnnyquack:The red stripe on the ribbon cable marks 'pin 1'. The manual has diagrams that will show you which pin on the board is 'pin 1' so you can orient the cable correctly and connect the red stripe to 'pin 1'.

Thanks sir
Quoted from insx:[quoted image]
Well ive put some new ROMs, but still no luck, i see that your display ROM is point oposite direction of mine...
Quoted from Jarbyjibbo:Some chips can fry if put in the incorrect orientation.
For future reference, the ROM for the display on the particular machine is the inverse of what should be.
Quoted from RGAires:For future reference, the ROM for the display 10.0 on this particular machine is the inverse of what should be.
Quoted from insx:Do you mean in my photo?
In your photo, and on my display is the same, i was putting the rom with the signs matching, and i nothing was working, ive change it and is working 100%.
Thanks
You can check my last video of gameplay on LORD, should i level it diferent, what can i improve?
Thanks
Quoted from LOTR_breath:Game looks good and your skills look good! I haven't seen LOTR with Pinstadiums before. Some will say it doesn't fit the dark theme but I think it looks good. The only thing I can suggest to improve would be to get a colorDMD. All that bling and having the old orange display clashes a little bit.
Also, the Palantir Mod by Aukraut looks incredible. Pricey, but worth it.
Was just a simple video, not my best game for sure, just to give an example, and work/learn from this standing point.
In person is not that bright, and to be honest LORD is a machine full of details and colors, i think it fits perfectlly.
Thanks for your opinion.
