Fathom

[Captain9toes]

Having installed an Altek MPU my Fathom was working well, I now have a bizarre situation where it boots up fine, has a stack of credits but the Start button won't let me start a game. I've done the switch test, Switch 01 isn't stuck, all the balls are in the trough, all the solenoids are working. If anyone has any ideas??? Please

go into the settings and clear and reset every setting.

Does the start button register in the switch test..?

I Hit the reset on the Altek board but still doesn't work

Sounds familiar , are all the settings set on credit ? Think I put mine on free play and the issue disappeared , not a clue why !!

Check the diode on the start button switch .
Had one that was broken and it wouldn't start just thought I'd come across..

Not the reset. Reset all the game settings. Go into each one using the coin door button and physically cycle them through. I have had bad settings in allteks that appear right but actually aren't. For instance it showing credits but
It actually reads as 0.

I have had similar issues in the past,caused by bad diodes on the same switch columb,it's worth checking them all,and making sure they are orientated correctly

Make sure the ball on the tilt isn't sitting on the switch

Have you run the switch test and made sure the start button is working?

Are all the balls in the trough registering, that would prevent Vector starting in this way.
