Quoted from Jmckune:It was actually 3 of us lol, doesn’t really bother me, I don’t mind being wrong but that action didn’t really add anything helpful here for our guy.
The OP should have stated what the problem was he was having!! Ok a video was put up but with all the fucking lights and sounds, and camera going up and down how should we know what problem he’s having?
Ok the first vid ball saver was on the first time the ball drained that’s why it put out another ball in the shooter.Second time you tried you grabbed the ball before it hit the drain switch you picked it up and placed in the ball through that’s why it ended and went to ball 2
Second vid.. there’s 2 things that could be causing that
1.clean the contacts on the EOS blades do this gently so you don’t bend them.
2.clean the plunger,spring,spring return and coil stop,coil sleeve.A good cleaning should solve it if not post back
Go into the test menus and change or disable ball savor if this is the real problem your having.It might be set for a long period of time.If you disable it and the ball drains it will go to ball 2,3 ect.
If the drain switch is not registering then it’s a bad,faulty,flacky switch. I’ll tell you what make another vid.
1.start the game,shoot the ball up and let it bounce around but grab it before it drains and hold it.Then when the ball saver light goes out release the ball in the middle of the playfield and let it drain then you’ll know if it’s a switch problem or ball saver problem
Quoted from mystman12:Sorry, I was just downvoting since your answers were incorrect... If I tried answering someone's question but I was wrong I would want people to downvote my post so people could see it's wrong. When I downvote I don't do so because I'm angry or anything like that, I do it because maybe I disagree or think the information being shared is incorrect or unhelpful. To me upvotes and downvotes are a quick and easy way to show that you agree or disagree with someone.
That said, you're right that it's not really helpful for me to downvote and walk away, so I'll add my two cents to the situation.
The issue has *nothing* to do with the ball saver. When the ball is saved with the ball saver the bonus music doesn't start (Like it does in the video) and an animation plays that says the ball was saved (Unless no switch is hit, in which case no animation plays and a new ball is served, but the music never changes). You can rule the ball saver out as an issue.
What seems to be happening, as GLSP3022 pointed out, is the ball serve solenoid seems to be firing when the drain solenoid fires. This ends up pushing a ball out of the trough as another one enters, which seems to be confusing the game into thinking that a ball didn't actually drain and so it cancels the bonus sequence. Use solenoid test and test each of those coils to make sure none of them cause the other to fire.
Well,why didn’t you help out the OP or state what the problem was when he first put up the Vid without posting what his issue was?Instead you waited one day to post what issues he’s having after he posts more info?!?
Look upvote,downvote,sidevote I don’t give a fuck about that..I do care about helping Pinsiders when help is needed.
Quoted from mystman12:Woah, calm down, haha. Why are you getting so hostile? I already said you were right and that it would have been more helpful had I actually posted some advice. The main reason I didn't post initially was because GLSP3022 had already posted my thoughts. Lesson learned though.
Believe me I’m very calm
