Re: Tech - MM reset problem during gameplay

No, I mean go over every switch in the game. If you look at thw switch
matrix in your manual, you'll see the switches are on rows and columns. One
switch can cause others to fire, if there is something wrong out in the
game. LTG :)

So my reading of Martin's website tells me that WPC-95 reset problems
are usually due to the diodes on the power driver board. The resets
are occuring during game play, sometimes as a slam tilt. What is the
best way to approach this repair? Get a new driver board, send this
board out for repair (swap), try and replace the diodes? (this scares
me!) All advice welcomed. captkirk.

Do you mean trace just the wires from the Slam tilt switch to the
power board?
