TZ resetting with button press

Does it fully reset the entire game, or just dump the current game in play and start a new one?

I PM'd you this, but I didn't know it started after putting new buttons in... hmm. Might be a short somewhere.

 

But give this a read too:

Fully re-sets.

The rom loading screen loads back up and does its check.

you have a short (its grounding out)

I went to check, and got 3 errors.

Check switch F3

Check switch F5

Check switch F7

with other info (not enough time to right down) but it was regarding the flippers.

Went to test out a game, and all worked again.

Powered off and on, no errors :unsure, weird but hey..

 

One question though, the post from MJ, they mention to check Test Points (TP)

EG: +5 volts DC: TP2 (TP101 on WPC95). Should be 4.92 to 5.1 volts DC

 

I couldn't follow what they werte saying, where do I find what is TP 2 ???

Test points are places on the pcb you stick you probe to, the other probe go,s to ground. sometimes test points are just solder blobs sometimes little metal posts like silent policemen

That's what I gathered, but I couldn't actually find when they mention tp2 (or othes) where on the board they were talking about

Test Points are printed on the PCB .. if you have the problem again, look closely - they can be hard to find

ahh cool, yeah I didn't look to hard as it all came good.. Lighting is not the best in my Games room (don't need good light)

maybe it's my eyes, won't go there

Update:

Dam resetting again!, after working last night to testing it out again. Dammit..

 

I did the testing as suggested from the link provided by MJ.

 

Everything is in order to the part where is suggests to "CPU board check U10 pin 1 (the reset pin on the MC34064). This pin may dip low during reset, forcing a game reset when the flipper buttons are pressed."

 

Strangely on my CPU board and in the manual there is no U10 ?

 

I've continued on and did what was suggested if voltages are all good. Removed all the connectors and the headbox and re-inserted them. 1st power up DMD was all scrambled, so re did the seating of the connectors.

No longer has the resetting issue.. yay... hopefully that was the issue and not just conincidence.

 

ONly problem now is sometims the trough through prominity sensor erros comes up, which basically just lets the pinny know if the Power ball is in play or not.. Seems like a common problem. Easy to fix or replace..

Glad it's working! (kind of :lol)
