big time confused over the control room issue with my jurassic park...need help
sorry for starting a new thread on this, but i was afraid it would get buried in the other thread where i just bought the pins....
ok, so my control room is not working on my JP. after receiving advice from several posters here, i checked the diode on the switch...turns out it was completely severed. i replaced the diode, making sure solid connection was made and making sure the banded side of the diode was to the right as per instruction. still nothing.
so then we wound up testing the switch....the two similar switches that we knew were working (bunker and power shed) tested the same. the control room did nothing when tested with the multimeter.
since the control room is more important than the power shed (at least initially) and i knew the power shed switch worked, i went ahead and took the power shed switch over to the control room. still nothing. no control room function. tested the switch again once it was in place at the control room and it tested fine.
so....at this point....totally stumped. out of pure desperation, shorted the power shed switch to make sure it worked: it did. shorted the control room using same two wire positions and it still does not activate the control room modes/missions......it does do something though: it gives points. like 100K or so. and i made sure the control room was active via the rollover and power shed.
please help. i have no idea what to do next or where to even look.
thanks in advance for any help, fellas.....
