I've been working on an Andromeda recently, and while I thought
everything was all set, I'm getting funky results on startup.
Things I've done:
- Cut battery off main board (no leaking had taken place)
- Replaced solenoid driver board
- Replaced drop targets
- Replaced bumper coil
- Shopping of coils, playfield, pieces
Now, when a Game Plan pin boots, there's a series of LED flashes that
indicate where in the process the game is. The problem is that the
boot up behavior is totally unpredictable. Here's a list:
- 3 to 4 flashes, then nothing
- Numerous flashes, then a mid-frequency tone that never ends
- Numerous flashes, then all "4"s on the displays, then nothing
- Numerous flashes, then all "c"s on the displays, then nothing
Once, after the numerous flashes, the entire playfield lit up, the
expected boot sound effects happened, then nothing. On one other,
random occassion, I got no flashes or sounds, but the entire playfield
lit up, then nothing. For *every* boot attempt, the lights behind the
backglass all come on, whether anything else happens or not.
Any ideas? We want to play!
