Hello all, I have spent the better part of the day reading older posts with TZ clock errors and issues , but have not yet found the same symptoms my clock is having. I had a credit dot and report was broken clock. I would go thought the clock test mode and everything is fine. I recently replaced the batteries-which have been removed from the CPU board and found leakage on the battery holder.I cleaned this up and installed new batteries- now the credit dot is gone- and no test report errors. However the clock does not keep time in the attract mode. The goes forward and backward throughout the game, and will advance to the correct time of day in attract, but stays at this position.Any thoughts ? Thanks

Correction: The credit dot has returned, with the report of clock is broken. I turn the game off and restarted and the credit dot is gone ,until it goes into the attract mode.

Quoted from Madmax541:

Are all of the clock Optos registering correctly in test mode both forward and reverse?

Yes in the test mode -all optos register forward and reverse, both in slow and fast mode.

Quoted from german-pinball:Do you have the original clock board built in or an aftermarket-board? You have at least 1 bad opto.

It is the original board. In searching the threads about clock issues- there is high praise for your replacement board.I have to be honest, I have been looking over the sections 1-50 and 1-51 in the manual and trying to summon the courage to remove the clock from the game to look it over.It is a little intimidating so say the least.
Do you still have boards available?

This is an awesome club- thanks to all, very encouraging, really built up my confidence.I did decide to get the new board from Ingo, he was exceptionally helpful. Ill post some before and after pics. Thanks Team TZ.

Quoted from starslugger27:

I just installed the color DMD monitor on my TZ, but when I turned on the machine, none of the flippers work. I am not sure what happened or what to do. I appreciate any help. Happy Holidays!

I could not readily find the manual- but I think there is a connection needed for 12vdc for the DMD lands on the driver board possibly on J116- did the original connection get re-hooked up to this junction via the z connector that comes with the new DMD cable?

I did find the manual and-this connection does head to the fliptronic board via the cabinet opto switches

I wanted to give a shout out to Ingo, who sent me his clock replacement board. I think it took less than a week ,which was a pleasant surprise.

I finally summoned the courage to take the clock off the game and install the new clock board. Wow!!! It was surprisingly easy! The credit dot is gone...after a year, I am such a procrastinator. Very easy to install. I am not sure that it makes any difference when installing the OPTOs, but I referenced his website and it looked like the chamfered edge was to the outside. I powered up the game and " clock is broken" is no longer in the test report, and the clock advances to the correct time in the attract mode. I am very pleased and Ingo- thank you .
