A week or so ago I posted to get help with a STNG which was doing the typical resetting during game play. I received a great link to a tip which makes that fix easy by adding a capacitor to the CPU board. I did that earlier today.
But after I did that I discovered another problem. When the game powers up it's giving me the error message "left launcher not finding home error" and "right launcher not finding home error". When I power up, the two guns keep rotating and never stop at the home position and run till the timeout and stop in random positions. This prevents the ball from being launched onto the playfield by the main ball launcher.
I found a connector on the CPU which has switches for the two guns tied to it and made sure it was seated correctly. And I made sure all the other connectors were installed correctly and were seated tightly. That didn't help.
What should I do to troubleshoot this problem of the two guns not finding home and stopping at home on power up?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
There is a setting in the menu system (adjustments, I think) that allows you to set the home position of the cannons. I'm at work now and can't remember exactly where it is. Try that first, that should fix the errors.
