Thech Question: Flippers stall...
Posted: Sun Feb 22, 2009 9:33 pm
Hey everyone - New to Pin2K - I have SWE1 - I have updated it to the newest OS.
I just got this machine so - I don't know the quirks yet that most of you are used to. I do know I get an awful sound when I get an Extra Ball - but I assume that is due to a resource issue with the PC and memory.
My real problem is that the flippers seem to gradually stop working over time. I can play a few really long games. Maybe a few hours on the machine then the flippers begin to stop working, they lock up. I have seen flippers that need a rebuild, believe me - But I am hesitant to just assume that is the issue - because it isn't just one flipper that does it. and if I turn off the machine for a half hour - they work fine. When I got the machine fuses 103,104 and 109 were blown - and in the test screen one of the drop downs is broken (I can't see it broken though) - I also notice that the display skews a little when this happens.
Any ideas?
