I've had my Xenon pinball on craigslist, someone comes over to look at it and buy it. So i moved it into the garage. It worked fine before. Now all of a sudden, it's showing a stuck switch. Well, this scares the guy off and now my sale is blown. If I can get it working again, he says he'll buy. The switch is clearly not stuck, and it doesn't happen all the time. You'll be playing the game, and right in the middle, the switch will just register as being closed and start accumulating points. After a while, it'll go off again. In test mode, the screen will flash 'no stuck switches' and then every 10 seconds or so, it'll flash switch #19 is stuck, then go back to no stuck switches, then #19 again. I checked marvin's guide, and it says there could be numerous problems causing this. I replaced the diode, but that didn't help any. It also says to clip the ceramic cap on the switch and see if that stops the shorted switch. I haven't tried that yet. It also says it could be an MPU board problem.
Does anyone know what would cause it to act flakey and register closed sometimes and not other times? Most of the problems on Marvin's site refer to a switch that is always stuck on, and the problem I have is that it registers as being stuck intermittantly. Just trying to narrow the problem if i can.
