the manual says the 6 pin connector has a reset high scores on pin 6. so i wired that to a button and when defender shows the high scores and i press it, the screen flashes, but the socres do no reset. I tried holding it down and pressing the other buttons, no luck. tried resetting it after pressing it. tried pressing it multiple times in a row. tried holding it down for 10 seconds. nothing.

how do I reset the high scores in defender?

here is the manual

As I recall, the high score reset switch is a misnomer left over from when Defender coin doors were being stolen off the pin assembly line. The reset high score switch only resets Today's Hish Scores. To actually reset the whole HS table, you need to go into the function settings (press advance button) and scroll to menu item 28 and set it to 15 and then press the advance button again. The details are in the Defender operators guide.

thanks. I was able to get to that area, set it to 15 then press advance again. but it still didn't work. maybe that is to just reset the current high scores? i want to reset the all time scores.
 
If you get a high enough score, does it move into the all time high score table. If not it may be an issue with the CMOS RAM chip or the memory protect circuit. If yu really want to reset the high scores, you can always get drastic and pull a battery while the game is powered down. That will wipe the CMOS.

I was having that same problem, so I did a factory reset, and it resets the audit totals also. Set function 28 to 45 instead of 15. Your settings will go back to default(3 ships, planted restore 5 waves, etc...). If you had changed any of that you need to fix it, but setting 28 to 45 will reset your ALL TIME HIGH table.
