just bought this board and was boasting how cool it was on another part of this forum but tonight it quit reading quaters so it wont register credits? any help with this problem would be great. thanks in advance.
 
I know this thread is a bit old but I figured I should bump it instead of making a new one....anyways, same thing just happened to me. playing a game and I go to coin up and nothing on either side....unplugged/replugged all the connections....no dice. what could've happened?
 
no deal in test mode. found the manual online and it said to swap 2 PIA chips....problem is they're a real PITA to remove! they just dont want to come out of the holder...bah

EDIT: swapped chips...nothing.

Sometimes if a broken dart tip gets stuck in a dart segment of the target head, it closes a target head switch and holds it closed. When that happens, the gameboard ignores other switches (like the coin switches).

Try unplugging the target head from the gameboard to see if the coin switches suddenly start working again.
