I turned on my NGG yesterday and after 20+ years I'm having my first problem with it. As soon as the game fires up, the Putting Green solenoid (Clubhouse Kicker) activates about 6 times then stops. I tested the optos and they are not working for this device (they were fine last time I played). I've followed the guides and checked connections, boards, etc. but everything "looks" ok.

Also, the game now resets while playing and I narrowed it down to the left orbit switch. Whenever I hit this particular switch the game will reset. I replaced the diode but the problem still exists. If the switch is unplugged I have no reset problem.

Do you think these 2 issues that started at the same time are related or is it just a coincidence?

Is it possible that the actual orbit "switch" could be bad and cause a reset?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Edit: I just put it in test mode and when I hit the left orbit switch it triggers 2 things. Before triggering the switch, it very quickly registers a "slam tilt". I see this message go by fast and there are 2 audible beeps as if I am testing 2 items.

Edit2: The Sand Trap "Adv Trap" standup target is registering both the Right Outlane and the Adv Trap target in switch test mode.

Thanks, Chris.

I will do that and post back the results.
