I just got my DEFENDER home and everything was fine until I tried to set it up for FREE PLAY and now the START BUTTONS do nothing. All I did was set LOCATION 17 to 1 to set for FREE PLAY and exited out. Now the START BUTTONS do nothing. I can even put coins in and the CREDITS go up but the START BUTTONS do nothing. What have I done? Please if you have a DEFENDER and are familiar with how to program it or even RESET to factory please help. I feel like an idiot because it was working just fine until I tried this. Thank you.


UPDATE!!! I unplugged the wire harness and plugged it back in a couple times and it works now. SHEEEEEESH. I was scared there for a minute. Was also able to set it up for free play too.

I'm guessing bad wiring crimps on the plugs that go into the input board.

you just happened to wiggle the wires back into contact the right way when you reseated them.

don't worry, you'll get another opportunity for it to happen again. my advice is you get good wire strippers, a molex crimp tool, and the necessary pins and plugs. good luck.
