Hello fellow TZ owners. Hoping to get some help. Had something go wrong when trying to install my color DMD. Eventually got the problem sorted out, DMD is working fine now. But now the pin itself is not working properly.

So, when I turn the pin on, even before it has a chance to boot, all coils immediately fire, including ejecting a ball from the trough. Game continues to boot and all is good. Also, now it says the clock is broken in error message. The clock was working 100% before attempting to install the ColorDMD.

Subsequently I disabled the clock in the settings. The pin plays absolutely fine, with the exception of the two above noted issues. Naturally I want to get the pin back to 100%.

Any suggestions? Many thanks in advance.

Hello all! So my trough sensor has shit the bed, no longer recognizes the Power Ball. Was going to order the TZ Trough Eddy Set from Pinbits, but they've been sold out for quite a while. Just checked Marco, they are out as well. Anyone know where else I could look to order one from??

Suggestions appreciated.

Long shot I know............but does anyone have an idea where I might be able to get the trough board that recognizes when the powerball is in the trough. Been actively looking for a few months now.

Yes, a while ago. My tech buddy says' the board is toast and needs to be replaced.

Hey all. I've just replaced my proximity board as I was getting an error and a tech buddy of mine just couldn't get it working.

So, new board is installed, flip the game on, and it would appear to me there is no power getting to the board 'cause the LED is not lighting up. Whoever owned the pin before me, must have cut off the molex for the two pin connector, because the wires are soldered directly onto the pins coming off the board. I resoldered them on. Could someone confirm that they are actually going to the correct pins. If you can't tell from the pic, the red wire is soldered to the left pin.

Failing this, any suggestions? Thanks!

OK, success. Kind of sort of.

It's detecting the metal balls, but is thinking they're the Powerball. I know I'm probably a dumbass and missing something simple.

Frigging around with this issue a little bit more.

1. Did as you suggested. I don't get an Active, I get it's "Open". (This is with and without balls in the trough!) Pic attached.
2. When I put a steel ball in the trough, LED comes on. When I put the ceramic ball, it does not come on (which I assume is supposed to happen?).
3. Start a game, still recognizing all balls as a Powerball.

I'm at my wits end and seriously drawing a blank.

Thanks Coyote. That kind of repair is over my comfort zone. Guess I'll have to get my tech in!
