Pink panther 2002 gear shock frame

image.jpg Just picked this up but can't seem to get it to shoot balls, with the hopper full or empty the yellow lights on the left stay lit. I am assuming that these newer games have a shut off when the hopper is empty. It's my first lcd pachinko . Anyone know where that sensor is buried in this mess of pcbs and wire?

Nice machine! Is there any clicking sound made when you turn the shooter knob? If so and your balls are not shooting then you may have some debris in the ball path. I found a small clothing tag stuck in one of mine.

Your second pic looks to be just the ID placard with the specs. The metal tang on my machines is bent more upward which I assume prevents the ball from bouncing back down the shooting pathway.

If no noise from the shooter hammer. Make sure your touching the metal ground ring on the knob. Then check your CR dongle

to open the front of the machine, for just the glass part turn your key to the left, look down the bottom edge for the release latch to open the lower part of the door. "be carefull that you don't tip the machine over"
check the ball path for anything blocking the balls from shooting.
there may be a reset switch near the on/off switch, hold it in while turning the machine for a reset.

Found the problem , one of the boards had an onboard 1 a fuse that was blown . Thanks for all the help. The little dongleybit seems to trap balls will bend it and see if that makes it stop .

Another question what do these do?image.jpg

if they are 3 position switches they may be for the volume loud----louder----earsplitting
