    Default Matrix, shooter problem, Help?

    Hey all

    Was playing matrix, and shooter just stopped shooting balls, it still shoots at full blast, buts that's all, any advice? I turned off and back on, shot one ball in play field, all the rest had to be full blast, and its a left side machine, so that wont work, was only playing for maybe 5 minutes, so its shouldn't have over heated, nothing like a screw stuck there, plastic pieces seem to be moving and working correctly, what else to check?

    Thanks for advice, will try anything

    I just got my "Enter The Matrix" out of storage and after some tidying up fired up with that VERY ANOYING start up voice that seems to go on and on but I carried on and got the great girl tossing the spheres all over the playboard and ran it for over 20 minutes with no problems and even got a FEVER but it being 0338 Hrs I had to shut her down cause even with excellent volume controls She still pretty loud and what a bass speaker she has

    The error is your CR unit is out or broken. That might explain the ball shooting irregularities. The CR unit is the dongle in the DB style connector - usually in the lower right (looking at the back) of the machine.

    after replacing the fuse, if you have a reset button, hold it in for a min as you power on the pachinko

    Borrow the one from superman.
    As long as it's a 1A 20mm fuse the voltage rating shouldn't be much of an issue. If you do use one of s different value, go down, not up, say 800mA. If there is a fault you don't want to damage the main boards.

    okay, took fuse and dongle from superman, error code is off, shooter shot 2 balls at full power, and stopped working, there are 3 buttons that can be pushed, very small square buttons, 1 red, 1 yellow, then a red round one, just smaller then a pencil
