I decided to start a new thread with a few issues I'm still having with my System 6 Blackout. The help I have gotten here is amazing, and I hope to troubleshoot the few other annoying things wrong with my game.
My first, most important issue is the lack of working coin door buttons. I cannot access any adjustment or diagnostic now because the three coin door buttons don't work at all. In my quest to rid my MPU board of battery corrosion issues, I had to replace the IC5 chip. If I'm reading the schematic right (prob. not) I fear this chip is the reason why.
A much lesser issue I've noticed is that one of my rollover lane bulbs/socket does not work. It used to a few months ago. I looked at it, tried a new bulb (didn't work), and it seems to be wired ok with no apparant issues. Could the diode have gone bad? Something mechanically wrong with the socket?
I'll be going through the game seeing how everything else is functioning to see if anything else is wrong. I hope to get some opinions of what I can do with the playfield in the future as well.
