Been there and done that jfruge, it is fun. Congrats to you and your family. You have plenty of time to get the pinball working, and I tell you baby's just love the flashing lights and the silverball rolling around, your baby's gonna love it . My daughter's 1 years old and when she hears the pinball get turned on and boots up at home she literately comes running over excited and wants to be picked up to look at the pf, gotta love it! Fricken priceless!

Guys, it looks like I am not getting any power to the CPU board.

All of the fuses check out ok.

Fun Fun,

I do seem to have the correct voltages on the powersupply output connector 3J6....12 +12 and +5.....on the correct pins...

Check the connectors at the power board and the MPU board.

Send your board to Rob Anthony:

It will probably cost about $150 but you will get a board that is 100% working. I would start with making sure your power supply board is putting out the correct voltages before troubleshooting the CPU board.

I have finished trying to test the cpu board on the bench. I can not get it to do anything.

I just sent an email into Rob and plan to send in the cpu board for repair.

Fun Fun,

Ok, I am getting way closer to a 100% WORKING PINBOT NOW.....I installed the CPU board back in the pinbot and fired it up. I did not have much time to check it out but here is what is still wrong so far.

Only the first display seems to be working.. 2,3,4 and the credit display are all dark.

Sound works but voice seems to be way too low in volume.

I hope to look into these issues this afternoon.

Fun Fun,

I also wanted to see what others have done as far as upgrading the speakers on their pinbots?

Also, @ lunch (working graveyard) today ..... I checked some connections on the sound and also the displays and still have the same issues...

(only disply #1 is working) and the voice is very low but the music /s sound effects are normal.

FYI and thanks,

This has been quite a project for ya, you will get it working soon enough. At least it's not your only pinball machine, you do have others to play I see to get your fix.
