This happened to mine on Thanksgiving. My nephew tried to turn the game on himself and when it didn't go on right away he probably flipped the switch on and off quickly a few times. Lloyd sent me that giant close-up pic on what to short and it worked like a charm but I could see this being an issue that comes up once in awhile especially if there are kids in the house.

I think this is just one of the negatives we have to deal with in order to get all the positives that come with this setup. Its the same with my flat screen hdtv and DirecTV. It takes about 10 seconds from the time I turn them on to the time I get that great picture and 300 channels of programming. It takes about 3 seconds between changing the channel and the picture and sound coming up. It can be frustrating considering I grew up with a tv that tuned in immediately when I turned it on and the channels changed immediately when I turned the knob. But I only had maybe 7 channels and I love Lucy was on 3 of them.

Well I know that and you know that but that little 7 year old stinker Nicholas apparently doesn't and although I told him not to touch it, the little bugger found the switch and did it anyway.

On future games hopefully JJP can figure out a failsafe. It wasn't a big deal for me as I was seriously busy after mine went down on Thanksgiving and I got married 2 days later. But, I felt kinda bad that my nieces and nephews kept hounding me "when are you going to fix pinball?" and I had no time to deal with it and just said, soon. Little Nicholas felt bad but at the same time I think it taught him a lesson not to mess with stuff when he was told not to.

Not sure what you mean by shorts for 2 mins. I shorted it manually for maybe a second with a screwdriver. I would appreciate instructions for a manual modification for us early pin owners who didn't have reset switches. If you could give us part #'s to buy and install that would be cool. As a very early buyer I knew there might be issues so no worries. I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron and DMM. Gotta say that the main reason I bought WOZ is for the family, and they absolutely love it and I am the coolest Uncle. Several of the kids asked their parents for a pinball machine for Christmas. Probably gonna be disappointed on that one. (edit: Because my siblings are not gonna spring for an expensive pinball machine)
