OK...I bought a Data East Simpsons last week. Works alright, 2 or 3 bulbs burnt out...no big deal.
After getting to know the game, I'm discovering the laser kick isn't working. I open the black Data East apon to inspect the laser kick. A wire is disconnected on the coil..."No big deal", I thought..."I'll solder it back on."
Soldered the disconnected wire, fired the game up and now my flippers barely work. They won't push the ball above the kickers!!! Quickly unsoldered the wire hoping the flippers would regain it's strength. NO DICE!!! AAAHHHHH!!!!
What did I do? (besides break it) AND, what would I need to do to fix it?
**edit...I also took out the knocker and on the bottom row of my display the upper right angle that would display V's, W's, X's, & M's is out too....oh geesh!!**
Thanks,
Darrell
