    Default Help my Lupin doesn't shoot balls anymore

    I've only had it about three weeks. Played it about a week ago. Today when I turned it on the handle for shooting the balls into the play field does nothing. When I turn the handle no mechanism in the machine responds. I checked the interior for jammed balls and nothing. Any advice much appreciated as I said I just got this machine and will be upset if I can't play it.

    Check that the dongle is firmly seated in the back. It's a little 25 pin db thing on the back. Like the old printer connector (the end that connected to your computer).

    So it's plugged in compeltely. After doing some research I found PinballDave site where he shows how it should be wired. My resistor isn't connected correctly. Does anyone sell these connectors with the correct soldered pieces?.

    Just noticed that in your photo of your dongle, the capacitor appears to have been fitted the wrong way round. So it's likely that if the resistor hadn't broken, the dongle would have been destined to fail at some point, and might have taken out the fuse in the pachinko machine.
