    Default Sparkman pachinko machine repair help needed

    I got the right machine in the right place this time. I have a sparkman pachinko machine that when i plug it in the bottom right light comes on. If i move a thing in the back manually i can turn the knob and it will fire the balls like it should. No other lights will light. There is no sound. There is no animation from sparkman. Does anyone have any idea what this could be. Is it most likely component issues? If so could they be fixed or need to be replaced. Any help would be great. I have checked the only fuse i can find.Thanks

    Hiya... Need a little more info - Take a look at this video of what I think is your machine running: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5IrjUUP3cI (did a search for sparkman pachinko in you tube...)

    If you get a ball in one of the lower pockets (probably labelled 1 - 2 - 1) those should get the center feature doing its thing. Maybe a couple of pics and a video would help understand your problem better...
    Woof!

    My laptop died, and I have been using a Kindle Fire tablet. I haven't found a way to load pics from my digital camera to the tablet, so I have to take pics with the forward facing camera. This explains the lousy pics I have been posting lately. It was a learning curve to finally get one posted, then I had to remember how I did it. I also have an LG tablet with a better camera, I still can't figure out how to post pics. Therefore this method may, or may not work. It seems like they all operate differently.
    Here is what works on my Kindle. Tap "go advanced", then tap the paperclip at the top. Tap "add files", then "select file". At this point, on Kindle, I have to choose where to select the pic from. Once selected it goes back to the "attachments scren" (best name I could think of), tap "upload file". A blank grey square appears in the "attachments" box at bottom, and your pic appears in the "home" box. Tap the pic in "home", a "?" appears on the pic, tap the "refresh" circle with an arrow in the address bar at the top. The pic now appears in the "home" box with a blank square in the corner. Tap the square and the pic turns blue, a checkmark appears in the square, and "insert inline" changes from "0 to 1". Tap "insert inline" and the "1 changes to 0" tap "done and the pic appears on pachitalk! KINDLE_CAMERA_1443574317000.jpg
    Hope this helps! As I said earlier, it didn't work on an LG tablet. I'm sure there is a way...I haven't learned it yet.
    GOOD LUCK!
