So my WW has popped up an issue...during a game, triggering the right or left flipper button causes 3 ramp flashers and 3 play field flashers to light-up. This does not happen in coil test mode...only when a game has been started

Here's a video:

The only thing I've done to the game is add a single LED lamp in the topper (which is linked to a rear playfield GI lamp). Whole machine is LEDed.photo.JPG

Thoughts?

Hmmm... yeah, not really the answer I was looking for. But, I put in LED flashers on this game about 8 months ago and it never exhibited this issue before...

I'll check... but it happens with both flippers.

Kind of odd that it doesn't happen in coil test mode?

Thanks for the replies.

Chris, I'll start with your suggestion...

kblixnick...very interesting info. I'm really confused, however, as to why this issue suddenly popped-up nearly 8 months after the LEDs were installed??? Odd...

Alright, Kris... looks like you've hit the nail on the head. Switched out the ramp flashers to incandescents and those no longer are activated by flippers. And the 3 affected insert flashers are now barely flashing with each flip.

I guess it's not outside of the realm of possibility that I never noticed this before and it has been happening all along!

So, now... the million dollar question: Do I cut diodes on the aux power board and add diodes to the coils...per the suggestion. OR, do I just swap incandescents back in the machine and keep on trucking.

My gut is telling me to leave the machine stock and not tinker...While I enjoy WW, it's the next game to go out the door (I'm pretty sure...). I've been toying with a trade (or sell/buy)...

Okay... Let me look over everything and then I'll barrage you with some relatively easy to answer questions
