My WCS94 is having a problem. I'm new to owning a machine but not playing. Anyways, whenever I shoot the ball into the goal, it registers it as a shot into Striker's Hideout. The goal was working fine earlier today, then mid-game it started acting up like I described. Any ideas on how to fix the problem?
Thanks

Opto on the goal came loose or otherwise isn't registering. Look at the opto that sits at the right end of the goal tray, right before the Hideout.

Ok so if the opto isn't registering would I need to order a new one? (Plus receiver)

not necessarily.. it could be dirty, it could have come loose and be misaligned, a wire could have come off. Could be many things.

Alright thanks I'll look into it

Before you start digging around are you sure this isn't normal system behaviour?
When the goal is not lit but the striker hole is, the first time you shoot the goal you should get awarded
the striker bonus.
If it keeps doing this it's broken.

No im sure. The goal doesnt even register. Shooting into the goal registers as striker's and only striker's. I found the problem, there is a yellow wire that broke off from the solder on one of the goal optos. Would simply soldering it back on fix the problem?image.jpgimage.jpg

Will not know until you try...

Likely you found the problem heat the iron. If not replace bulb or bulb and board on that one opto.

Problem has been fixed. Thanks everyone. Simply soldering the wire back to the circuit fixed the problem.

Quoted from nicoga3000:

How do I install this? Do I need to drill a hole in it?

It's been discussed in this topic. Don't know the page number though. Maybe you can search for it.
