Hey guys,

I decided to start a separate thread for this issue. So my newly acquired ICB has been working fine, but the plastic ball playfield on the back side ended up getting a couple of holes punched in it. I bought a repro, it wasn't great, so I moved everything back to my repaired original.

Now when I power it up, I hear the purring boot up sound and also the TILT sound immediately. The left side of the rod goes all the way to the top and the right side goes to the bottom. That's it. The tilt light flashes. If I power cycle, the same noises and tilt message happens, but no movement of the rod. The ball is installed and the switch is functional. If I drop the ball in the hole where the solenoid kick out is, then power on, the solenoid will kick the ball up to the start position, but then the tilt sound comes on and the tilt light is on. Can't coin up or start a game when tilt is lit.

Not sure why the rod won't move. Switches seem to me fine, and the motors are turning. Is there a home position for the rod or adjustment? I put DeOxit on all connectors and ask on the board. Like I said, it had been working.

Any help from the experts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
