Closed problem report

Closed Problem: Speech is not currently working. Self test for audio has silence when the speech portion is referenced. - checking DIP switches to make sure speech is active should be done - Since audio seems to be working fine, checking the ICs on the speech board is probably a good next step if the DIP switches are configured correctly.

Dip Switch 2 was in the ON position, supposedly should be ON to have voice active. After adjusting the mixer dial voice/talk seems to be working fine.

Oddly if DIP switch 2 is off voice test still plays all the words/phrases, might just cut voices off while a game is active.

Closed problem report

Closed Problem: Flippers still appear to be active when in attract mode and a game is not active. Hand full things can cause this but flipper control solenoid and the solenoid pre-driver (I think) highlighted in blue are probably strong candidates for where the issue is. Issue doesn't seem to be reproducible, currently it is not showing this behavior.

Replaced the old cracked elastics on the playfield.

Closed Problem: -Flippers active when in attract mode - Stuck solenoids always active. Upper drop target 1 & 2, buzzer & multiball kick out, lower left & right drops targets, shooterlane launch kick out, upper left kick out, and both magna saves all stuck on. Fuse for these solenoids blows, no surprise. Current diagnosis- -Issue goes away if 40 pin connecter is unplugged between driver board and MPU. -Corresponding PIA #5 on driver has the outputs for these solenoids stuck HIGH. Unclear if PIA is receiving bad data, or is faulty.

Installed driver board, after a reboot machine when into attract mode, board diagnostic checks out fine, and solenoids no longer are stuck on.

Closed Problem: -Solenoid 8 , lower eject hole, located roughly middle of the playfield is severely worn and sticking. Maybe just a new sleeve and cleaning will fix it?

Swapped out coil and sleeve for a new one. Mechanism is moving freely now and as expected.
