Hi everyone,

I am having an issue with a switch in the upper playfield. It is the switch underneath the TV that starts the TV modes. It works randomly, but most of the time it does not, making it very aggravating to play because you are unable to start the TV modes and the ball is stuck there until the machine goes into ball search mode. Anyways, I thought the best plan was to just change the switch out and hope that solves the issue. Of course it seems like the most difficult switch to swap out. I have attached a picture of my issue. The switch is attached to this plastic piece which is screwed into the playfield. Does anyone have any helpful advice on getting this switch off the plastic without breaking it? It is on there so tight I am concerned it may be glued. Thanks1.JPG

So I finally got a chance to try and fix this and instantly hit a roadblock. Since the switch occasionally works I assume that the actual switch isn't the issue. I just have no idea how to follow the wire because it is so jumbled with everything else. Does anyone have any advice on how to follow and manage all these tightly organized wires? Also,it seems to always work in the switch test when I turn the machine on,but as soon as I start a game it stops working. Does this point to a bigger issue? Thanks
