My JJP Wizard of Oz Emerald City (2013) has an issue where it sometimes will not recognize the ball draining when it goes into the trough. I have checked all switches, connections and machine diagnostics, but no luck in figuring this out. It does this once a game or so. Any suggestions?

Power off. Reseat ball trough opto board connectors.

Balls magnetized and not rolling down the ball trough good ?

That’s been my experience when this happens. Especially if it is intermittent. Check the trough switch in test mode and you can see it.

I experience this when my balls get magnetized, might be worth trying fresh balls before digging around too much.

Guys, thank you for these great suggestions! I will try new balls and hopefully that will fix it. Stay tuned!
