I have narrowed down one of the issues with my TZ. It shows the plumb bob tilt when the out lane (by the plunger) and the center trough (SDTM) are activated. I looked for loose wires and shorts...nothing. i then changed the diodes on these switches with no luck. Any suggestions?

TIA

Reversed diode, PIA at U10/U11 are faulty. Caps/Diodes on the MPU are beginning to leak/fail, bad connectors on J2, power supply issues, Vcc ground bounce, could be any number of things. I just wnet through it all with my Embryon and its -35 MPU, could be any of the above.

I used the mpu (big board) in a well working TZ. It all worked fine. Time to hunt for the bug.

Don't forget basic switch matrix issues. Diode on backwards, switch wired worng, a short to switch wiring.

Go over all your switches.

After looking over and over I found that the shooter lane switch was wired wrong. After fixing that I found that the outhole and center trough switches were crossed.

All works well. Thank you for the advise
