Is it OK to Reset my Pachinko?

[Pinballrocks]

HI all,

Could someone please tell me if i can cause any problems with my Star Trek machine if i reset it? I think it has a fault in regards to paying out balls. eg. does not pay out at all. I have tried a few things and think reset might help. Machine is working except for payout.

Thanks guys

You won't hurt it no - it's a standard parlour button for any electronic or other mash-ups an operator might hit, so push away.

have you tried doing a ball dump to make sure you don't have a jam in the payout tracks??

make sure you have something to catch the balls in

I have dumped the balls and i had no luck with that.

Thankyou for all the advise i will try the reset next.

Cheers

check the path from the hopper to the payout mech, and make sure that balls can get to the payout mech. You may have a JAM in the payout mech so take it out and look at it (after you dump all the balls)

Ok Here is the latest, I had the number 4 showing on the led display at the back of my star trek pachinko i pressed the reset and shortly after that the machine started to payout when i hit the start pocket. I noticed that the number 4 was gone and it showed a dash. When i went back to play the following day the number 4 was lit again and machine is not paying again. Any ideas what error code 4 is telling me?
