I had this listed under a different thread about it being switch issues but I believe I am over that and on to the next set of issues.

I was experiencing some switch issues but after adding new diodes and reseating all the connectors all of my switches are acting normal in both game play and during the switch edge test.

When a game is started and a ball is launched into the shooter lane it is automatically shot into the playfield. When this happens it triggers the eject hole switch which would light video mode or grant bonus. It automatically shoots the ball every time a new ball is launched into the lane.

However, when a ball is locked in the right ramp you have to manually shift to launch the ball. When manually shifting to launch the ball the eject hole is not triggered and the game operates as it normally should.

So I believe my initial complaint about the eject switch being triggered must be linked to the automatic launching of the ball. has anyone dealt with this issue and if so what can I do to fix it?

Thanks

I just went out and attempted this adjustment. It automatically shoots the ball if I have it off or if I have it at 120 seconds or 60 seconds etc... If I can manually shoot it prior to it automatically shoot it then it does not trigger the eject switch so I am certain that the two issues are tied together.

What else could cause it to act like this?

Thats the thing though. I have 3 balls in the game. I have ran through all the switch edge tests and replaced all of the trough switches and diodes. I cant figure it out and it is driving me crazy!!!

It launches the ball from the trough into the shooter lane properly. The problem starts once the ball enters the shooter lane. It used to act weird in the trough but I got all of that lined out. It just automatically shoots the ball even though that setting is turned off in feature settings.

No points score on the game when I grab it before it hits the shooter lane switch. The machine sits and then begins looking for the ball.

As soon as the shooter lane switch is pressed the coil fires and the eject switch is triggered at the same time.

Yes. They are new switches and diodes. It is registering both at the same time but only when the ball automatically launches. If there is a ball locked in the right ramp then you can manually launch the ball with the shifter and the game works perfect.

I will start running through the switch edge tests again tonight and see if that leads me anywhere. All switches appear to be working properly when I run it through switch edge test though.

The board is a brand new rottendog that was put in because of battery corrosion. I will check the connector in the surrounding areas to see if there is any corrosion damage on them as the board was put in before I purchased the machine.

Getaway is now working properly once again.

In the switch edge test I began triggering switches in sequence. I noticed that it would only mark the shooter switch as the eject hole when both left trough and center trough were pulled. So I began checking those two once again.

I placed new diodes on them both. And then noticed that the old diode on the left trough switch was in backwards. I soldered the new one in the right way. However, the wires were also backwards on that switch. Once I moved my wires to the other side all switches began registering correctly. The game is 100% fully functional now. Time to hit that supercharger!!!

Thanks guys for all the help.
