    Hi All,

    My WOZ RR suddenly developed an annoying problem where one or more switches are triggering continuously during gameplay with corresponding sounds and score increase. The issue occurs even if I simply just press the flipper buttons. Game production date is 8/17/15 and it’s running the latest 6.61 code. I checked the system diagnostics and there are no switch errors. I installed the BriteButtons LED flipper button kit on the game today, but doubt there’s any correlation. Any ideas what to check? Which switches normally trigger that sound? Here’s a video of the issue:

    Any help would be appreciated

    Tests - Switches - Matrixed - bang on playfield. Any switches registering on the screen, make less sensitive.

    If you didn't have the errors before adding the flipper button LEDs, remove them. See if this clears things up.

    Thanks Lloyd. I powered the game back on, went into Tests - Switches - Matrixed, and banged on the playfield. The issue mysteriously cleared itself up and game plays normally again. I found that sound corresponds with the OZ rollover switches as well as the leaf switch just below the lower haunted forest tree. Maybe one of those switches was misadjusted or something. All functioning normally again now

    Traced this issue down to a misadjusted leaf switch at the lower entrance to the haunted forest. The switch contacts were so close that the slightest vibration/movement of the game would trigger the switch. I readjusted the switch gap and now the game plays perfectly.
