    Default Am I missing something? Sankyo Star Wars R2D2

    So I just received a Sankyo Star Wars R2D2 pachinko in the mail. UPS had to rebox it as the original box came apart. I plugged it in and turned on the switch but the screen is blank. The R2D2 does cycle and the screen does flash a line or two on start up. I did notice the small plug piece with the diode/resistor that normally plugs in to the card reader port is missing so not sure if that is my issue (I know my super sea story 2 has this). What else should I check before contacting the seller?

    Thanks,
    Max

    That version of star wars is famous as well as some other Sankyos of that time for hating cold start ups.

    My advice is switch if on. Leave it for half an hour then drop a ball in the start pocket. Or switch it off for 30seconds then switch it on again

    Just curious but have you connected the device to power and turned it on and left it on for abit?
    A friend of mine has this machine and if left unplugged it takes a few minutes to warm up.. seriously.

    Just curious as I believe others on this site have seen this issue.

    LOL Drunkenclam beat me by a minute!

    I tried what you suggested and it now works! Thanks all for the advice. I was hoping I did not have to attempt a lcd swap lol. Now to clean this thing up and find it a new home in my home. I think I did really well for $329 shipped with about 1500 balls included.

    Thanks again,
    Max

    Hey Max it sounds like you got a good buy on it being balls and shipping were included for that price considering prices these days.

    I have extra card reader adapters (simple version) if you would like a second one. That way both of your machines can be played at the same time. Send me a private message if you like and I'll get a free one out to you.

    Glad you got it to work! That is a heck of a deal you got. I got mine years ago from Arbycoffee and I have never had any problems with it. It always has started up instantly etc. But Arby did total refurb and replaced the powersupply etc. He told me via email what he did piece by piece and then included a beautiful book with all the details of play etc. RIP Arbycoffee.
