SWEP1-Pinball2000 Problems
Went to turn on game last night and it started up fine. Put in three players, started the game, then the game reset. Now it boots, gets to "TESTING..." and goes right back to the start of the boot process. I have tried re seating the PRISM card. I did notice that the fan on the P/S is no longer running, so I will be replacing the P/S.
Could the P/S be the problem? Are there other possible problems to cause this?
I had a previously similar experience, where the game would get part way through 'TESTING' and when it got to one solenoid it would stop and reboot, and I fixed the problem at the time, but do not recall now what I did. It was not the first solenoid of the test process.
What is the first thing being tested during "TESTING..."
Also... When looking at the solenoids, I noticed a diode broken from one side of a switch, so I re soldered it. The switch was one for a drop target. However, the switch, and its matching switch on the other drop target were missing their arms. I do not notice any difference in game play, but I had not played the game in awhile when I purchased it. Was this a recommended modification? Why would it be this way? The manual shows the assembly with the switches having arms.
Thanks for any help!
