Switch (resized).jpg
#1 6 years ago

Hey everyone! I'm pulling my hair out with this one and I'm hoping someone can help. I have a 1987 Laser War that will do a Tilt Reset when both the left flipper and red pop bumper are activated at the same time. I feel as though I've tested all of the diodes, but I must be missing something somewhere. I've done a switch test, and as far as I can tell, no single switch registers as two switches at the same time - meaning: it doesn't appear that wires are crossed. I've tried cutting the wires to the tilt sensors, but it still happens. The game has a brand new Rottendog MPU, so I doubt that's the issue. I've attached the switch matrix and highlighted the offending switches. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've been fighting this for weeks. Thank you!

Looking at the map I need to go from D1 to R7 by way of the red bumper and the l flipper EOS. best path for your scenario would up through the start button down through the red bumper and up through the EOS. For that to work the start button switch would need to be stuck and the bumper switch diode would have to be bad or missing.

I have a laser war that after about 5 to 10 min of being played or just sitting in a track mode will start going into tilt switch reset. Anybody have any ideas?I've checked the switches and they're all okay.

Woah my Laser War is doing this. Symptoms same as above, plus the start button will RESTART a game mid-play, like if you bump it.
