i have a nice williams flash pinball....was totally 100% fine...turned it on to play last nite and it keeps going to game over during play....anyone know what this is/how to fix it?
im a newb but learning really fast!!! if anyone can help that would be great!!!
 
Check out www.pinrepair.com and select wiliiams system 3 through 7. Sounds like a power / connector issue. That guide will walk you through testing voltages and what to do if they are wrong as well as give you suggested upgrades (ie: interconnect replacement)

Just saw your roller disco post. Were you trying to play flash with your new pin plugged in? If so, maybe you have an issue with wall power. Try running just flash on that circuit and see if it resets. (credit Hans for this suggestion from my firepower thread :) )
 
didnt have roller disco on....but space invaders was....
flash is plugged in to a different socket further down the wall.
but still on the same wall just further down the wall on a different set of sockets...
i have had them both on before with no problem, but this is muskegon and who knows what flaws are in the electrical systems here...could this be the problem?....i only had 2 pins plugged in in diff spots.
 
was actually a power problem...there was light running outside on the same wall from a diff plug in, didnt like 2 pins and a huge light....flash is the farthest from the box so it must have sucked the juice from that 1st causing it to reset....jus unplugged everything and played it! thanks!!! will take this down tonight, just in case this can help someone else...
now on to roller disco?????????????
