New pin: Lethal Weapon 3 (Update: FIXED)
shardian:
I installed the Rev 2 board this evening. Don't know why I was a ---Bad words, bad words, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when saint censors you?--- about it before, it was quite painless. Now the game works with the exception of pop bumpers, slings, and ball save kick-back. And yes, the left saucer works perfectly. :)
I can live with this handicapped playability for a while.
shardian:
How do I put this eloquently? SCREW THIS MACHINE AND THE DEMON WHORE MOTHER IT CAME FROM!!!
I played on the machine for a while with the rev2 board installed last night. I had all of my games on, and we were having a good time. I had just finished a game of Whodunnit (on which an air ball snapped the end of a plastic off...that sucked) and decided to pack it in for the night. I drained all the balls that my wife/daughter left on the LW3, then turned everything off. Then I went into the living room for a bit. About 10-15 minutes later, I came back out into the gameroom to get my shoes. There was an overwhelming scent of electrical burning, and there was a slight haze in the air. Oh ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---... I frantically went around the room smelling all of the games through the coin doors and backboxes. I saw nothing burning and could not locate the source. We both made a best guess it was the LW3. When I looked in the backbox, I noticed a connector wasn't fully seated. I went ahead and plugged it in all the way.
I turned the game on, and after it booted something inside the cabinet locked on. It came with a loud buzzing sound too. I cycled the power and now it starts as soon as power is applied. I never saw or heard anything out of the ordinary before I originally turned it off.
In closing, I now hate this game and want it gone. Anybody want it , along with all the restoration parts and both boards for cost?
ChadTower:
I feel your pain, bro. That's a terrible feeling.

I pulled up the playfield to watch for what coils were locked on. Right drop bank and knocker are locked on. I have no clue why.
ChadTower:
Has to be the standard reasons for locked coils, I'd think. No reason to believe you introduced a short in the wiring, right?
