Question for those with machines already. Theres a picture or two circulating showing potential playfield clearcoat lifting around posts. Anyone seeing this?

#1002 3 years ago

Is there a written rule set yet? I.e what shots to hit in each mode or song?

#1080 3 years ago

So do we think there will much more additional code added?

#1133 3 years ago

I want a table with the scores for biggest jackpot lost!

#1161 3 years ago
Quoted from wdbthree:

37M+ jackpot lost on Paradise City last night. Knew I was pushing my luck, but was in the ZONE. (Until I wasn’t).

See now that needs to be documented in the game!

#1606 3 years ago

Played an le today. Once in song mode I had no desire for score, just to stay in song mode. When given the option to cash out I couldn't bring myself to not continue in song mode. Lots of fun, but my scores suffered accordingly.

Slight amount of pooling on posts but you had to look for it.

#1664 3 years ago

Thoughts?

2 week old machine yesterday

#1670 3 years ago
Quoted from screaminr:

I was wondering how you would have got a machine so quick .
Obviously an early one and hopefully not one with the new super duper spectrum clear coat .

I haven't quite pulled the trigger yet. I'm 99.9.% there.....

#1685 3 years ago
Quoted from screaminr:

Whether it's his game or not , it concerns everyone who is considering buying one .
It's not stirring the pot , it's sharing information .

Thank you. Exactly, trying to find out as much as I can before I spend. Not sure what the problem is?

#1686 3 years ago
Quoted from Vino:

It’s quite simple.
A prototype photo vs production game from an owner is a big deal.

JJP warranty is a good read.

To note: Bumper to Post warranty for 90 days ONCE delivered!

Says 30 days when I read it.

#1796 3 years ago
Quoted from Rat:

Yep, I had a brief conversation with him early last week, he said he didn't have much solid info but from what I remember there was going to be two shipments and the first was filled. But he wasn't even sure if both shipments could perhaps come at the same time. I guess they won't due to the popularity, but as I said no-one really knows yet.
But if you know more definite time lines or any different info then I would be happy to be better informed, he may know more now than he did last week

Saw Paul last week and had a flip. Pretty sure it's a January delivery, maybe late December if we're lucky. Or at least that's the latest info he told me.

#1829 3 years ago
Quoted from fooflighter:

Glad you like that sub, I had recommended it in another post. It's got the hardware under the hood where it counts. Plus that's an amazing deal on Amazon right now..I paid $200 for that sub a couple months ago

Any suggestions for the Aussie market for a reasonably priced sub? Those recommend here aren't available in a AUS.

#1842 3 years ago

$151 delivery fee though

#1877 3 years ago
Quoted from screaminr:

Have a look on Gumtree , I got a basically brand new high end Dali for 200 bucks for my hobbit , it's probably overkill but hey , you can always turn it down

I'll keep an eye out. BTW I pulled the trigger today

#1997 3 years ago
Quoted from punkin:

Convinced me, ordering the full pinwoofer today.

Ouch, shipping I'll wait until after I get the game and see if I can get a group order in.

#2008 3 years ago

Talk to Dan mate, he's really good about the whole thing.
The thing with an external sub for me (i have one that shares tween hobbit, deadpool and whatever game i set up with it now Tommy is gone, is that if, like me, you move games around the sub is in the way of the trolley. Also you have to climb in under it, unhook all those cables and move it when you move the game.
So yeah, exe solution, but contained. i just sold a shooter rod from my ASLE that pretty much covers the cost of the full pinwoofers kit, so i'm happy.

So your still running an external sub along with the pin woofer kit?

Group buy is a great idea, i know two other guys here in Coffs that have ordered the LE, so once again, talk to Dan and i bet he'd give you great pricing for a few of them and you could cover your costs (unless he has an arrangement with someone here).

So your running an external sub along with the pin woofer kit?

#2084 3 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

Just had a massive game with 3 large song jackpots. The game is a rush with you get it going!!!

Congrats. I can never cash out. Just want to stay in song. Having said that the jackpots haven't been massive.

How many machines do you think have been produced so far?

#2137 3 years ago

Reply on Facebook, jjp says another run of le's currently on the line.

#2355 3 years ago

Hi all. On the subject of external subwoofers, can someone in the know tell me if these speaker inputs are a high level input and will work with Tha alligator clip mod from the cab speaker? Thanks

#2357 3 years ago
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:

That sub has both high and low level inputs. Yes, alligator clips will work. Run the wire to the red/black tabs that are labeled speaker input. Jumper the wire over to both reds and both blacks

Awesome Thanks. Is the jumper necessary? Will it change the sound quality or power. Was thinking of hooking up two seperate machines as some people have done.

#2630 3 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

Yeah it is a good idea. Beware however as draining through that hole can put the ball in danger @ the right outlane.

If the machine is level l to r that shouldn't be an issue.

#2662 3 years ago

"I’ve heard some rumblings that Paul from Pinball Sales Australia has a container coming this month, but I’m not 100% sure."

Direct from someone at jjp

#2679 3 years ago
Quoted from Ballypinball:

Hasn't left yet so doubt it will be here before Christmas and not as many games as expected
we are all having huge shipping delays out of the USA during Covid

Booooo

#2690 3 years ago
Quoted from pinsanity:

Word of advice is to only get your JJP information direct from the official Australian distributor rather than someone purporting to be speaking on behalf of the official Australian distributor.
That way you never run the risk of being misled.

Yeah I know, was a bit of tounge in cheek.

#2750 3 years ago
Quoted from Yelobird:

WTF lol. I just can’t pass up the risk/reward and mostly loose. Great score I’m still maxing out in the teens.

I'm 100% the same. Can't cash out while I'm rockin

#2801 3 years ago

I'll take it while I can, Australian gnr grand champion 6,500,000 or so

#2928 3 years ago
Quoted from allsportdvd:

I was just informed that we won't see a container of GNR pins in Australia until after February
The wait continues......

Seriously, from Paul? Dissapointing, only a few days ago he was expecting a container to ship any day.

#2935 3 years ago
Quoted from punkin:

That's not what he was saying two weeks ago. Fuck.

Or 2 days ago, but I guess it's outa his control.

#3083 3 years ago
Quoted from screaminr:

It was either going to be 33 or 66 games , so I'm assuming 33 fit into a small container , maybe double in a big container or maybe two small containers .
I'm not sure , just spewing it was 33 not 66 .

Jjp obviously not punching them out as quick as expected. Paul was told (told me) he would get 1 or 2 containers initially. Things then changed and we get what we are given. 33. 1/2 container

#4095 3 years ago
Quoted from Eskaybee:

Plenty of wow moments in GNR and plenty of live and let die moments as well. But more importantly, the game is addicting as shit!
My personal experience, GNR came down to timing and the perfect storm and so thankful to be in the right spot and the right time. I was in the market for a new pin in September and put a deposit in on sterns next JP2 run. I really wanted a JJP pin but had no interest in GNR. I had two music pins at the time and was getting burnt out on music pins that play the same 10 songs for 30-45 seconds. I was dead set on not getting GNR, until they did what they did (those assholes! Haha). They did everything perfectly with this pin and it just wow’d me, this is a music pin!
Needless to say, I sold a pin and picked up both JP2 and GNRLE. GNR flippers felt very lackluster compared to my other sterns and JP2. The sterns are just snappier with more umph. Well, as many of you know, I spent nearly a week tweaking my GNR flippers - from power settings, to realigning, to trying many different types of rubbers. Well, I went to play some JP2 last night for the first time in awhile, the flippers felt like toothpicks - I was shocked. Turned the game off and went back to GNR. I’m sure I’ll give my other sterns and my other new JP2 some love again in due time, but GNR is a beast and plays so dam fun.

What power settings do you settle on?

LTG which machines did they offer printed ones?

#4121 3 years ago
Quoted from screaminr:

I know rrwoz came with one , Le Hobbit has one , pirates CE came with one , not sure about dialed in or wonka .
The Hobbit manual is as thick as a Melways .
[quoted image]

Thanks. Ive started collecting physical manuals. I like them for what they are. I have a Di and hobbit. Looks like I have few more jjp ones to hunt down.

#4124 3 years ago
Quoted from screaminr:

I think it will be hard to get people to part with them and they were like 100 bucks each .
You can always go to Officeworks and get one printed up .

Printing in colour it's cheaper to just buy them.

Quoted from screaminr:

Is that at Paul's , I got one stuck on the guitar block ball head and a few times in the pop bumper area .

Yes Paul's. No issues anywhere else. P.s also set new gc 8.2mil. So OOo much fun.

#4156 3 years ago
Quoted from screaminr:

When I last played it , it had over 1000 games , and no bullshit , the Playfield looked perfect , there were tiny dimples but I had to get down low on an angle to try to see them .
The best bit is , with the new batch of games going out , no one has reported any Playfield issues . ( touch wood )

I did notice some very slight pooling on the lower post of the left sling. But very minor.

#4160 3 years ago
Quoted from screaminr:

Looked like light reflection to me .
[quoted image]

Either way very minor

Has anyone with a machine looked at splitting from the hot rails and adding another set of rgb led's under cab/backbox, mimicking the CE to some degree. I wouldn't have thought it would be particularly difficult.

EDIT - or is their a spot on a board already? same board for ce and le?

Any chance single song mini gampley, or something similar will be incorporated in future codes? Would be fun for single somg competition among mates. Who can get biggest score, unlimited balls

#5168 3 years ago

They had mentioned in one of the videos a while back about future code having a mode to just play one song in its entirety with endless ball save.

Sweeeet, that's what I want

I would love when a jackpot is lost that the jackpot score stays on screen a little while longer. Playing today I kept missing what the jackpot I had lost was. Also still think a biggest jackpot lost needs to be implemented in the saved scoring. pinball_keefer

#9011 2 years ago
Quoted from TigerLaw:

Late, but I purchased an early order spot from another user.

Are there still some significant features they plan to build in? I’ve really not been following this thread as closely I should have been.
The mods for this game are incredible. That skull housing around the shooter and the bullet shooter Rod, what a combo those are. So tempting to order them before I get my game.

I believe they are planning and can't wait for single song mini modes. Would be so much fun challenging friends to the same song.

#10176 2 years ago
Quoted from punkin:

Thank you, i'll see if i can find that in Australia.
Half an hour of google and this is all i can find here.
What size do i need? Anyone else in Aus want some, it's 4' lengths.
https://www.protectawall.com.au/polycarbonate-corner-guards/

punkin im guessing I'll need some when my game eventually arrives. Bunnings doesn't have anything similar?

#10185 2 years ago
Quoted from punkin:

No, just in white. I emailed the guys at the place i linked to, it'll be a 4' length if it's not crazy money, there'll be enough to share with many for the cost of postage.

Good work. I'm in

#10506 2 years ago
Quoted from fooflighter:

My Theory of why the clear PETG washers (carbon also) work better than mylar or metal washers: (Not saying that larger metal don't work as well or those who use mylar are doing it wrong...just I think the PETG solution is the best one for now)
(The pic below is after hot iron fix and 800+ plays...all my fixes are holding up as well 18+ fixes)
This is for those who want to fix/protect their games with the current playfields - I'm not posting this to discuss clearcoat and playfield methods, or how washers look ugly, detract from resale etc.... I think the playfield issue is a major problem and needs to be addressed but this is for those who want to keep their games and continue to enjoy them without worry
Hopefully this will encourage you to be proactive and protect your game with the right material
1. The sooner the better to prevent pooling as they best translate the forces away from the playfield
2. Notice the darker black ring around the post...that is the direct point of contact the washer is making in and around the post hole. The post is applying downward pressure but the flex of the PETG washer (while mostly rigid) is enough to just barely flex to a conical shape translating to a downward and outward force of the washer on the post hole rather than just a lateral "digging in" edge force a metal washer. Mylar works to a point but then bunches up, doesn't translate the force away enough, becomes compressed and loses effectiveness (see my crude sketch - sometimes a pic is easier to communicate)
3. By flex, I mean less than paper thin ....that space between the play surface and the outer washer area.
[quoted image]
[quoted image]

fooflighter did you leave the original washers, metal or otherwise on the playfield And just add the petg ones underneath? Or remove them? Cheers

#10763 2 years ago
Quoted from Vespula:

Congrats! What's your disty and order date?
Also wondering how does JJP do the numbering if we have two 5/21 dates but this one is 640 and the one darkryder just got is 1103 ?? That's at least 563 in one month?

Le numbering is random, plaques picked out of a box. Any order.

#11049 2 years ago
Quoted from brerspidur:

T-splice into data/ground for each rail and then used an external power supply. Ran a total of 4 strips (2 long, 2 short) that were the same led count as the hot rails. long ones on the right under cabinet and behind backbox. short ones on left.

What's the led count on each side?

#11101 2 years ago
Quoted from Ashram56:

WS2812 ledstrips are very common, and very cheap on Aliexpress if you're patient (delivery can take some time).
Here are the ones I regularly use for my "gizmos":
https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/2036819167.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.517a7893sRGbvb&aem_p4p_detail=202106110524345248356825853200001705205
A 5m roll of IP30 60 led/m is 20 dollars. It can be cut anywhere to the correct lentgh, just at the pad (which are spaced every 1.5cm).
To note:
- Each led can consume up to 60mA, so if you have 5m at 60l/m is 300 leds, meaning 9A. Granted, it's full white and full brightness, so in practice it's slightly lower, but this still means you need a dedicated 5V PSU
- You need to reinject power every 150 leds or so, as the current decrease on the power line of the ledstrip. For this application therefore it's one power input for each ledstrip.
- The IP class will determine the "cover" of the ledstrip, IP30 is "raw", IP60 should give you a transparent silicon rubber above the ledstrip, which I recommend as it allows to protect the electronics
- From what I understand of the pinball electronic design, it seems to be just a matter of duplicating the data signal from the pinball ledstrip to the external ledstrip. While not strictly "by the book", it is possible to drive two ledstrips with one signal without any additional electronic (which is what has been done here I assume). If one is very picky on electronic design, you should add a single input dual output buffer. If you intend to drive two additional ledstrips (rear and back), then it's recommended to add the buffer in any case (as this would mean driving three outputs from a single control signal).

Thanks for the info. What's a buffer? (In this context)

#11140 2 years ago

Can someone tell me the name/size ect of the connection for the hot rails on the board? Cheers.

#11347 2 years ago
Quoted from pinballjah:

For those looking for side blades for their SE or LE, you can order the CE version directly from JJP or through your distributor. I saw some on a friend's CE and had to have a set. They look amazing! My set has arrived in Canada so will post some pictures when I pick them up. I have not seen them advertised on the JJP website. Cost is about $30US per side.

What do the ce blades look like? Can't find an image.

Yeah cheers. There are multiple options there including appropriate resolution

#12010 2 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Resolution's not the same, and the aspect ratio is off by a few percent. IF there's a "stretch" adjustment in the menu, it MAY work, but not a sure thing.

Within that link there is a 7 inch version with 800x480 resolution. Is that not what is required?

Quoted from PinMonk:

Don't lose hope. I have no idea what's going in in SF lately, but I had a number of international packages go into that black hole and nothing happened for almost THREE WEEKS before they showed up in the destination country. This is not normal.
I did accidentally find out that International Priority Mail express is not subject to this black hole in SF. IPME packages move through SF in lightning speed, and don't cost that much more than regular international priority mail in some cases.

Pretty sure I'm one of them........still waiting.

Quoted from atg1469:

I've replaced both trough boards, which were sent to me by Ken at JJP but they didn't help. I can make the issue stop by recalibrating the sensors but it'll ultimately come back after a few games. I haven't had time to go back in and troubleshoot it further, but I was told by another Pinsider that removing the plug from the skill shot area while the game was off was something to try. No idea if it'll work but can't hurt!

#13541 2 years ago
Quoted from fooflighter:

As you tighten down the post the center makes clear contact with the hole surrounding but as you proceed from the outward it's a micro thin layer that separates off of the playfield ... Your mileage may vary but 1700 plays later no chipping

Are you using the factory washers as well? Or just post to petg?

#13713 2 years ago
Quoted from PinWoofer:

A ground loop isolator addresses most of the hum as you suggested, but it does not address the pops. harryhoudini offered some sort of relay on a timer item awhile back so you might check with him.

Does the pin woofer kit address any of these issues?

Anyone else had issues with balls launching off the main ramp. Sometimes it will hit the bass guitar base plastic ( I think, it happens fast) and roll back down the ramp. Other times it will launch of the diverter at 90 degree angles and hit the right side of the machine. Hitting the base guitar has me worried about damage. It does hit with force! Looking for any solutions

I've never heard of having a machine where the flippers are set at different angles.

#15427 2 years ago
Quoted from etr104:

Well, 94 games in the books now on my game. I think I've solved a couple issues but not all.
First of all, playfield looks great so far, no hint of pooling or any other problems yet, so that's good.
I found the autolaunch to be weak, and occasionally taking two tries to launch a ball out. I was able to raise this by just one increment in the coil settings and now it seems perfect.
I found that I was getting a lot of weak flips right into the out lanes and that the left ramp was real hard to get to. I raised the flipper power by one increment in the coil settings and now the game plays much better.
As of right now though, my biggest issue is the center scoop! After about 70 or so games, my center scoop was firing balls SDTM. As suggested in the thread, I slightly loosened the 2 screws holding the center scoop in, then twisted it as far to the left as I could (there was a bit of play so I was able to turn it enough. Re-tightened and it was fantastic. However put 24 more games in the book and the scoop is once again firing the balls SDTM. I know one person in here suggested tilting up the scoop with a washer or two underneath but I don't quite have the dexterity to do that without removing the upper playfield (which I think is beyond my novice abilities, at least for now, maybe I'll build up more confidence).
So basically, I was able to correct the problem, only for the problem to be back within 24 games. Why is the scoop working it's way over like that? Would you suggest lowering the power of the scoop so that it doesn't work it's way out of alignment? I don't know, but I can't be removing my glass after every 25 games, there has to be a more long lasting fix.
Has anybody ever contact JJP Support about this issue? What have they said?

Make sure game is 100% level from l to r!

There really needs to be a way to opt out of a song. As getting mystery spotted additional band members and auto starting song is very frustrating when not ready. Same as mystery start song. Maybe it's as simple as hitting the action button when the song starts and having an option along with song selection to cancel start song.

i'm not sure who the sorebit guys are here to tag, but i'm loving watching the app progress.

Two things i would love to see would be to track the jackpots on the graph, even if they are lost. That way you can see how high your jackpot got in comparison to the actual scoring graph.

Secondly i'd love ipad compatibility, i set up my ipad next to my machine and theres so much real estate on the tablet to expand the graph horizontally and show even more details of the gameplay.

Keep up the good work!!

A question regarding the cliffys scoop, I installed mine but it didn't "clip" under the playfield properly no matter what I did. It was too tight and wouldn't go under properly. Has anyone else experienced this. Now as I play the game it seems that the balls hitting it are flattening out the bend/ folds in the metal (straightening it) causing the bottom of the cliff to protrude further into the hole. Hope this makes sense and can get some help.

[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

I had the same issue after installing some plastic protectors and washers. Once I did the back section it levelled back out.

#17297 2 years ago
Quoted from arzoo:

Ok, my GnR was delivered last week and I'll start by saying, wow, it was worth the ten month wait! As for NIB/delivery issues, other than adjusting the lock-down bar, the game was near perfect! But jump back some months ago when all the PF issues were coming to light and I gotta say, I was seriously considering backing out (glad I didn't).
Anyway, pre-emptively I purchased, Cliffys, PETG washers, larger T-nuts, and some B/W posts, and for the past few days I've been hopefully "bullet-proofing" the pin. But I have to say, I'm not sure any of this stuff (other than the Cliffys) is necessary. Seems like JJP has done their best to mitigate the PF issues with washers (black), lock nuts, and longer/thicker posts. It's also possible the later PFs cured longer (mine has an October manufacture date on the back edge). Only time and game play will tell, but it does seem like lately there's been fewer people posting about PF delamination.
For me, I enjoy breaking down any pin I acquire (new or old), so adding the washers and a couple longer T-nuts (what a PITA), was mostly therapeutic lol. But again, imo with these later builds I'm not sure it's necessary.
Here's some pics of my over-kill...
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

Make sure you protect the two posts behind the scoop holding the side guides! Mine seemed all good but now have chipping. At least it's not normally visible.

#17334 2 years ago
Quoted from jsa:

We're getting reports of some odd challenge behavior, so let me clarify what is the intended way for this to work:
Two types of challenges we refer to from time to time: Challenge and Challenge Match. For the sake of this post, assuming I'm talking about Challenges, because Matches are done a different way in an upcoming release.
Challenges are taunts, or tags, to people you know AFTER you've played a game.
If the app is open when the game is over, you'll see a series of screens that let you add a photo, tag others (challenge), and share.
[quoted image]
What you do is after a game is finished, tag the people you want to receive the challenge, then hit "Send Challenge."
What should happen next is that the person who received the challenge gets a notification.
**If the target user checks their challenge menu or challenge tab in their profile,** they will see an option to accept the challenge.
They have 7 days to accept or it disappears.
Once a challenge has been accepted, the next game you play counts against that challenge. You can tell if you won or lost based on the score card in the screen when the game is complete:
[quoted image]
There are a ton of known issues here, and all we're working hard to resolve quickly. For example, we will be showing you the score and the challenger when you're playing the game, and let you choose which one you want to challenge instead of handling it FIFO-style. Also, there have been some folks seeing challenges that shouldn't! We're looking into that as well. Understand, these are casual challenges. They are meant to be fun and done in a social spirit, and played casually. The Matches (coming soon) are premeditated, you can't just score a great game then challenge someone, everyone commits and the next game they play, good or bad, counts against the Match.
Hopefully this makes sense!

So I only have 1 game to play, the next one after I accept the challenge to beat the score?

#17345 2 years ago
Quoted from jsa:

Correct, assuming you've only accepted one challenge for that game. If you accepted 3 from 3 different people, it will handle them first-in-first-out.
We're changing this to let you choose and so on. Sorry for the confusion!

I would have thought it would be better to have a time limit and multiple attempts on a challenge. People are generally only going to challenge someone when they get a good score and the game can be so fickle. Having only 1 attempt seems very limiting as the game can be all or nothing.

I'm not challenging someone when I have a 200k score game. But I might on 20mil. Doesn't give the challengee a fair cracks at it.

The start song from each album should be randomised, that way the starting song is always different when song is lit.

#18820 2 years ago

Has anyone else had issues with the scoop cliffy bending up into the scoop over time (from under the playfield) . I'm now on my second one and it seems to be doing the same thing. Seems like the ball hitting the fold point is slowly opening it up and straightening it out

#18836 2 years ago

so... super frustrated here.
Around a month ago i had an issue with the sensors on the upper playfield. I ended up changing out the board and that seemed to resolve the issue. I'm now having the same issues again.
On startup three sensors are failing calibration, i am able to manually calibrate them afterwards. During gameplay the sensors seem to work and register the balls arriving on the upper playfield, however when in a song it looses track of how many balls are up there, doesn't release all of the balls after a powerchord jackpot is scored or timed out and then automatically starts a new powerchord registering the balls already up there from previously. After the game all sensors have the (uncalibrated) ring around them in the test screen.

I feel it's highly unlikely that it's a board again, although it may be. Open to suggestions on what else to check/change. Its currently unplayable in this condition.

Quoted from LTG:

I wonder if it would be worth trying a factory reset and if that doesn't do it, a full install of the software ?

Thanks LTG i may give that a go if all else fails, however my gut is telling me this is a hardware issue. Seeing as it has happened previously. maybe a bad cable?

#18840 2 years ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Have you tried to clean the lenses of the inserts (with non-ammonia cleaner) and the sensors on the board (with rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip)? There may just be a film of coil dust developing on one or both.
How much have you played the game in that month?

PinMonk I haven't as yet, I will do as I'm gonna have to pull everything apart anyway. I have a feeling the board may be disconnecting intermittently causing the issue. So maybe a connection or cable. Again only a gut feeling but frustrating as I've been through this before.

#18842 2 years ago
Quoted from swampy:

I had similar issues to this (all sensors went out in fact), and I traced the fault to a loose/poor connector in the back box. Perhaps check this to rule it out.
I've had two GNR's so far with a bad connection here. [quoted image][quoted image]

swampy thabks. I'll deff check that out. Was it a visible issue or did you have to pull the connection/pins apart to find it?

Update : tried it and even removed the Tibetan breeze connector to see if that helped. Unfortunately no luck.

#18858 2 years ago

LTG swampy PinMonk RA77 CoolCatPinball Thank all for your advice and support.
I was feeling quite dejected yesterday and didn't quite know where to go to try and isolate this issue again.
I will pull apart the upper playfield today and implement all of your recommendations. I have purchased a new ethernet cable as well to swap out. Hopefully when all done it clears the issue. If not i guess i have to try another new board.

btw PinMonk around 120 games since i replaced the board.

This forum is excellent and an amazing resource

#18917 2 years ago

Hi All,

Just thought i'd share my progress with the flakey guitar lock sensors. I seem to have rectified the issue, without fixing the problem.
Long story short, after taking in upper playfield off and on multiple times with the game both on and off and getting different results each time, by chance i noticed as i loosened the upper playfield (with the game on) it all came good.

So essentially if i screwed the playfield in super snug it was putting pressure on a connector disabling the guitar lock sensors, loosening the front most screw (guitar head) by 1 revolution!!!! to just snug released the pressure enough to work properly.

So its a connector issue

Have reseated all cables on board and backbox, the fact the game reset midway through and now i have this error makes me think something has blown open to any and all other suggestions to try.

#22721 1 year ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

Try reseating all the USB and mini-usb connectors at the computer in the backbox and the boards under the PF. It's more likely that one of those has wiggled loose from the shaker action. JJP really should use screw-lock USB connectors instead of cheap consumer-level USB plug only cables.

Cheers PinMonk I have looked at every connector I could find. Including unplugging all usb's from the computer and reseating. I will go through them again though just in case.

#22723 1 year ago

#22729 1 year ago
Quoted from PinMonk:

There's another fuse block coming off the ATX power supply. That has power for the accessories and like 5-6 fuses. I don't remember where it is, though. Maybe inside the computer case? I'll have a look in a bit if you can't find it.
Definitely be doing this part with the power off.

#22732 1 year ago
Quoted from RA77:

4.76 is too low
Check again on the plug not the board when unplugged. The game may even start.
Essentially you are isolating the board.
If the board has failed it may put extra load on the 5v pulling 5v down.

RA77 PinMonk I appreciate your help with this. Plug was unplugged from the board and measured 4.7?v i checked on another board as well, unplugging it and measuring at the connector. Same result. Can the 5v be adjusted on the PSU or has it failed and i need a new one to deliver full 5v?

I can start a game no issues, just no lighting or sensors, so unplayable. Everything else seem to work fine.

So to keep everyone up to date with my issues (and to keep them for prosperity in case it can help anyone else, I replaced the under playfield io controller board, which brought back most of my lighting. The guitar head board still had no lights or sensors. This was then replaced and it seemed to sort out the issues. All lighting and sensors were back.

Then playing my first test game I blew fuse F708 during a song. Off to the store for a replacement fuse. Then tested and everything was working again so another test game and again during a song another fuse blew. This time it was fuse F702 further up the chain. This fuse is associated with F708 & F707. However both of these don’t seem to have blown.

Is anyone able to give some help in trying to diagnose this new problem? I have looked through the wiring of the coils associated with these fuses and cant see any issue or short.

Very frustrated atm!!

Quoted from RA77:

I am missing my GnR to the extreme. I enjoyed the rush of Erics GnR immensely.
Killed me to battle with on going errors.
I may be a sucker for punishment.
Wanting to get back in the game with an LE.
I just hope to get one that is not possessed. [quoted image]

There's a few around

What could be causing this.

They are metal filings. Should wipe off.

I Also wish it would keep each power chord high score and name. Not just the last person to achieve it. Or do both, High and current holder.

Does anyone have any good images of the ce playfield differences and sparkle?
Trying to get a good look at the differences but can't seem to find anything.

Thanks for the sparkle playfield image guys

Has anyone with the precision flippers installed had and issues with clamping the flippers. There is an additional upgrade for the clamps. Some machines need them some don't. Depends on the manufacturer. Not sure how it is for jjp/gnr. anyone have any experience?

I don't believe magnet fires during frenzy. And getting the extra ball during multiball can be difficult depending on settings. If It can't hit a pop beforehand then multiball makes that difficult as there are always balls in the pops.

I turned on my machine and the spotlight and hex LED's are all out. Any help on where I should start looking? Cheers.

Quoted from screaminr:

Have you tried reseating them or looking at the fuses .
[quoted image]

Yes tried reseating cables and checked fuses in backbox. Also checked and confirmed power going into the hex lights board, which also feeds the spotlights. Thinking it may be the hex lights board. Open to other suggestions.

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice/recommendations.

I have had ongoing intermittent issues with my guitar sensors disconnecting, (since I got the machine in 2021) ie turning red when viewed in the sensor test screen. I have tried different ethernet cables and switched the sensor board (now switched back to original) and various other things but the game always seems to have issues with the guitar sensors.

Currently the game plays fine when turned on and I may get 1, 2 or 5 games in but eventually it loses connection and makes the game unplayable. If I turn the machine off and on again it’s back to normal and the cycle repeats.

The fact that a simple restart of the machine is resetting the issue seems to me like its not a connection issue but at this stage I don't know what to do anymore.

Its really getting me down as I love the machine but anytime a get a good game going it loses connection and the game is ruined.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Quoted from fooflighter:

Okay I just had this problem with my shooter lane and it was driving me nuts, what I did was switch the usb's on the motherboard on the right side in the backbox. Literally just swapped them with each other. (you can unplug one at a time to find the one that contains your sensor data) Then did a sensor calibration in the testing menu after swapping. I'm not sure if it was the slots themselves, the usb assignments the system gave them or what, but it cleared the problem up permanently for me for the past 3 months, no issues and lots of play testing. Hopefully this does the trick for you on the guitar. You could also try running a splitter for both cables into 1 port at a time to try and isolate a bad port if that is the issue. I'm not sure how the software would respond to this but it may be a workaround.

fooflighter thanks for the info, at this point i'll give anything a crack. The guitar sensor board goes through the i/o board under the playfield and then onto the motherboard via usb. I might switch out both usb cables and also try different usb ports Fingers crossed.

Quoted from zaphX:

Just get the board, eyeballing them side by side there's a lot more to it than just the caps IMO.

zaphX the board you purchase is fully populated so would work on all the games. Boards in games already are only populated for that specific game. That's my understanding.
