So, my X-Men LE has an odd occurance. Periodically, when I lock a ball in Magneto, it will register the ball lock and then it will just sit there without kicking out another ball into the shooter lane. After a minute or so, it just drains my ball. This same thing has happened before on my friend Speed X-Men though sometimes his would enter a ball search.

Any thoughts on what the issue might be and a fix?

Quoted from FatPanda:

Have you checked what it does during switch test?

No issue in the switch test. This is the odd thing. It also only happens once in about five games (which is frequently enough to where I can’t use the game in a tourney sadly).

Quoted from FatPanda:

Have you checked connectors on the MPU to make sure nothing jangled loose? Seems like a switch isn't registering or the logic isn't moving on to the next step

So, it is not registering when the ball is in the lock, this seems to be the problem but I’ve not yet fixed it.

Quoted from PinMonk:

Done on ours, all of them checked out manually loading the trough and also using the ball clear feature. Jam opto was working, but reseated it anyway.

Did it fix the problem?
