|
|
The game is informing me that there are some errors but I can't see anything wrong. I went through the menus and can't seem to bring up the error details. I know this can't be this difficult so where do I find the error reports??
Thanks! _________________ BBB #131 |

If you get to the troubleshooting menu you will see a display of how many lamps and solenoid errors have been detected. You can then use the left OR right flipper button to scroll through the display. Note that you'll always see at least one lamp error for (I think) #48, the green lamp above the apron. The diagnostic and game code differ in their opinions as to whether that lamp is actually installed.
I some times see errors for the flash lamp for the tube dancer, but it clears once I scroll to that individual circuit.

The game shows 4 lamp errors but I can only find two lamps out?? I went through the lamp test and again only two lamps are out. _________________ BBB #131 |

I've seen inaccurate test reports on lamps as well... ones reported out that are working... |

I've found that if a single bulb is out, it will show additional bulbs as out. Replacing the one that really is out and rebooting takes me back to the one error for the additional lamp. Maybe because it's a matrix and the code wasn't finalized, it gets it wrong. Strange things seem to happen when anything goes wrong on these games. It appears they require special care and feeding... _________________ Pins and Vids #4 - A New Hoax DVD, Available NOW at www.pinsandvids.com for only $12.00 plus shipping. |
