Hello,

so i have following problem with my TWD.

1. Start Game (all ok)
2. Ball comes in shooterlane (all ok)
3. Press the left or right flipper button (Prison Letter is spelling - and counting Points )
4. If the Prison is full and i got the second or third ball its starts the Prison Multiball when ball comes in shooterlane.

So if the doors are open there is no Problem and i can play, but if the doors are closed and I press the flipper buttons the Prisonletters will spelling and counting points - checked the leaf switch - seems ok in test mode.

Hope you have an idea how i can fix the problem.

Thank you!

Have you tried cleaning the optos at the Prison doors ?

Yes they are cleaned and when i am in testmenu all works.

I put my finger between and it works correctly. Only when i press the flipperbuttons it's happening

Has any other work been done on the game recently ?
If not, it could be a failed diode on a switch.

Is one side of the opto loose? Or badly aligned? Maybe hitting the flippers is enough vibration to cause the opto to move and break the beam. This lines up with it not being a problem when the doors are open. When they are open I think they are blocking the opto anyway. So it moving would not be registered.

This is a good call. Had the same thing happen on my Spider-Man Doc Ock shot.
