    Default Machine(s) won't boot

    Both machines do exactly the same thing; when you power them up they just have flickering video.

    R2-D2 spins like a slow motion drunk droid. If you keep flicking them on-and-off they sometimes come back to life.

    Help!!

    they may need some warm up time, leave then on for 5 or 10 mins then shut off and turn back on

    use the search in the upper right and search for starwars..

    I've had both games and witnessed it on both. waiting a few minutes and power cycling it normally works or try dropping a ball in the start pocket, that works sometimes too.

    Hello,

    Yes that is a known 'glitch' associated with the Star Wars pachinko, lots of posts / threads about it

    it's just a case of switching it off then back on again for my own to behave, when it doesn't boot up first time

    Hopefully this will help put your mind at rest

    Yes, very common with Star Wars and also with Victory frame games too..My Aqua Nine does it!!

    Warming up, leaving on for a while and then switching off then on seems to be the way we all get them going!!
