Jpac player 2 kick buttons stopped working - fixed
« on: May 19, 2016, 12:14:21 pm »
So all three of the player 2 buttons that go directly to the jpac stopped working.  It's not the switches or the ground.  I bought the jpac new 5 to 7 years ago.  Any ideas?  Anyone have this happen on an ipac?

What makes you so sure it's not ground? You measured?

Maybe try opening the ipac software and sending a 'default' profile? Perhaps the keys became unassigned/forgotten somehow.

To test the ground, I just touched the wire for the player 2 start button to those switches and it worked.  Then I tried the 6 button from player 1 just in case it mattered that it went through the jpac and it worked two.  So I didn't think it could possibly be the ground or the switches.

I tried the software and that seems to have worked.  I don't understand because I thought that the default couldn't be lost, but it works now, so all is well.

You had a good run.  JPACs take a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on everyone else much sooner....
