Hello, all! I’m a new TSPP owner, and have a couple issues that I’m hoping to find some wisdom about here!
1) Earlier tonight, after playing a few games and leaving TSPP turned on to just hang out in the other room in Attract Mode, I heard a couple “ding” kind of noises, and then eventually when my brother got back around to play another game maybe 30-60 minutes later, found the GI on, but the DMD off and nothing else on or responding. We power cycled the game, and still, nothing but the GI would turn on. I opened up the backbox, pulled out the batteries (yep, it’s still on batteries) to check them, and while they were out, out of curiosity to see what would happen (I’m fairly new to the battery era of games), I turned the game on again and it…all turned back on as normal. Incidentally, the batteries were all fine, so they’ve been put back in, and I don’t even know if that would’ve been a potential cause of that kind of problem, but certainly doesn’t seem to have been related here. Any insight or familiarity with what that kind of situation might mean, and what to check if (guessing “when”) it happens again? I’v left the game on again for a while now to see if it would happen again, and if so, to run to it to hopefully see an operator error or something obvious occurring when it made the “ding” noise, but it has been in Attract Mode just fine this time, as it always has been before, so no luck there tonight.
2) Occasionally (at least 50% of the time, I’d say), the TV will catch a ball as it should, release it as it should, but the coil buzzing continues and after a few seconds, an operator error #7 about the TV coil shows up on the DMD. The coil seems to fire and retract w/o issue, or at least w/o any issue that impacts gameplay, so curious to know if this is a familiar problem, as well, and what I might want to look into to resolve it.
Has anyone come across these issues before?
